I like to visit him a couple of times during the flight. How impenetrable is that curtain? What would be the best way in your opinion to approach this? I'm just looking for visiting privileges.
I would think most crew would be quite OK about having visit your father briefly, discreetly and quietly (in a way that causes as little disturbance to other passengers as possible). If I were a passenger nearby, I certainly do not have any problem with someone checking up on his elderly father as long as he is considerate towards others and do not cause too much disturbance.
However, given that your father suffers from dementia, it is possible that he may be required to travel with an assistant. You might like to check with the carrier about this.
