Make sure to get the handle, my mother does much better placing her weight on her left side when getting up so I always put her on the left side, if you are on in cs on the 777 she likes I think 5 j in the mini cabin, near the bathroom with no one in front of her, she hates the old seats neither likes climbing over people nor being climbed over, we finally have gotten her to ask for help,if she needs it, and the crews are great, she is pretty steady but in the dark it can be tough so just knowing someone is standing their can help, people on planes tend to be helpful so we have her asking if she needs a little assistance, like if she drops something, before she insisted on picking it up herself but now she just asks for help, she can walk pretty well but uses the assistance and terminal five is a challenge it is also difficult with the train
