My mom is undergoing therapy and needs to travel to Chicago for a duration of two nights and three days from 11/13-11/15. During this time, I will require a nurse to assist with changing her and to facilitate transfers from her wheelchair to the airplane seat, as well as within the hotel. Can anyone help?
We usually book at least bus class, close to washroom.
Some airlines have wheelchair on board, not all.
I find assistance if needed locally.
Last year my husband had 2 surgeries out of country one was fairly major and drs declared him OK to travel after week or 10 days.
Also, you need to ask the doctor if your LO should fly soon after surgery because it can increase the risk of blood clots, which can be fatal.
This website states that a recent surgery may be grounds for the airlines to deny service.

It will be difficult for your LO to use the bathroom during the flight, so keep this in mind as well.
