If she is going to lie down in a bed in a dark room and try and rest, then maybe F on a 12 hour flight is not that bad a thing?
If you were in economy, or even some CW seats, then I could understand.
But I would be OK with the flight, and splurge on a spacious, comfortable transfers to and from the airports to make life easy. Maybe even wheelchair?
I second this. I'm surprised by your reaction, trying to postpone the flight. Most food poisonings are quickly overcome. Imodium or similar will do the trick. Most likely your wife will be much better tonight/after the doctor prescribing her something to deal with stomach.
Last month I flew GRU-ZRH in J with a very upset stomach (I will spare you for the details but I can assure you that several visits to the toilet were needed both before and during the flight). Not a pleasant flight for sure, but I managed.
