I was watching the first season of Lost the other night, and one of the characters John Locke, was temporarily disabled from the waist down. And they did not have the chair that would help him get to his seat on the plane so a flight attendant and airport worker carried John on to his seat.
He is flying from Sydney Australia to Los Angeles, California. Now that's a long flight. So it got me wondering. If he had to use the bathroom, how would he get there if airplanes do not have a device to help out the disabled? Do they crawl, or do flight attendants carry them?
Does anyone know what they do?

On the plane they have a special "aisle chair". When the person get to the plane entrance the flight attendant transfer from the wheelchair to the Aisle Chair. is a very narrow chair. looks like a regular chair doesn't have big wheels, I hope I spell it right

I am sure in real life if a person being disabled were able to travel on an airline they would be traveling with special prcautions, like if a child fly's alone the attendant's have specaial precaution's for them! I am sure People will assist them in any way that they can to get there, they are there for our assisstance during our flight even if it is to help someone get to the bathroom. I have seen them help drunks get to the bathroom, so why not a disabled person they didn't do it on purpose!

A baby does not truly "breathe" while in the uterus - it is living in a fluid filled environment. It takes it's first breath when it is delivered. While in the uterus, it survives because it is connected to the mother via the umbilical cord. It goes to the bathroom just like anybody, but only pee. This comes from swallowing amniotic fluid. It does not poop while in the uterus except occasionally at the very end (meconium) which can actually pose a danger if the baby were to inhale it before or during birth.

Every aspect of being disabled is so hard. The aisles are too narrow for wheelchairs. Many people in wheelchairs cannot get out of them without a couple of people assisting. This makes a lot of disabled people want to stay home. That's sad. Some of them do have to wear diapers of have catheters put in.

I would assume that flight attendants carried them to the bathroom during long flights. If the flight wasn't long, they most likely wear diapers.

if someone is disabled from the waist down they usually have no feeling "urge" to go to the bathroom. So they have a catheter and/or an adult diaper.

Depends!
First they get out of their seat, then they go down the isle.

seems like it would be an issue cuz the aisles are not very wide and the rest rooms are small
