I suppose it might be somewhat easier to arrange a cruise or ship travel to Puerto Rico, from which it's only an hour and a half or so by plane to Dominica, or two very short flights from SJU-ANU-DOM.
He just can't sit in a confined space like an airplane seat. He wouldn't have trouble on the ferry from Guadeloupe, for example, and he can tolerate car trips by stopping to move around every couple of hours.
