Flatulence is aggravated in flight because gas inside you expands more in the depressured plane cabin.
Eat before flying, that will reduce the chances of gas discomfort.
Sometimes you have to get up several times to go to the rest room. The person on the aisle is going to have to make the choice of letting you out or letting you let it out in your seat.
If you do get to the bathrrom but have to wait there, I will have to leave it up to you whether to let it out little by little while waiting.
