How did you come to the conclusion that you do have to do this, just out of curiosity?
If you really do have to, then I should get in touch with the airline's customer service team as soon as possible and ask for their help, approaching your mother's requirements as they would those of any other person with disabilities. And, by the way, I wouldn't try to do this on a budget - pick the best carrier your mother can afford.
She does not walk so who is going to carry her into the plane? No one. Have you ever seen this scenario on a plane before?
You can hire a fixed wing with a stretcher for 60 grand or so
You are posting the same question from July 23 and the overwhelming majority posted no. Why the denyal?
If you are determined to do this I would suggest she wear a double (triple?) layer of incontinence pull ups, or maybe a tab style brief inside of a pull up, that way the inner layer could be removed (by tearing open the sides) without having to change her clothes. Baby wipes are a must for clean up.
Unfortunately with incontinence, it is only fair to the other passengers who are sitting nearby if the person can go to the restroom and change their undergarment. Sadly, said restrooms on a plane barely have room for one person :(
I think I would think twice about flying mother. The logistics are so complicated.
It also means you will have to get to a BR “toot sweet” on arrival to make everything nice & clean again if the interval was too long between pull up changes.
All in all, is it worth it? Your mother’s routine will be severely disrupted & she will suffer getting back to her routine.
And, not to be mean, but she may forget the service by the time she’s gets back home.
No one wins here.
