I flew to Portugal last year, and had an uncomfortable flight as I needed to go (despite not drinking 8 hours before I got up that morning). Luckily it was only a 2-3 hour flight so probably about 14 hours total of not going. I recently booked my honeymoon to Florida and when I asked my Fiance how long the flight was my heart almost stopped! I was woried for days! I tryed to get a catheter years ago, but my GP told me there was risk of infection, they need to be used in sterile conditions etc and said it wasnt an option. After reading the posts off here Iv realised that you CAN use catherers safely and conveniently! Untill my trip next year, I will go de-sensing as often as possible, go on a workshop and if there is a fraction of fear about using the loo on the plane/at the airport then catheters will be coming with me!
