Question regarding Expedia, small planes, and a toilet!

[lancestorm]

So is the consensus to call Expedia to see what they can do? Or call the specific airline?

laxative, and dont eat the day before your flight.

You booked the tickets through Expedia -- I don't think the airline is going to be able to help much...

I avoid the Beechcraft 1900 whenever possible. I know it's bad to make generalizations, but I don't trust the 3rd party airlines that operate/repair them for the major airlines. Also, if you do end up on this flight, take earplugs.

Anyway, the airline may be able to re-rout you to jet-only service for little or no extra cost if you explain (and can document) your medical condition--I doubt they want a plane taken out of service after you fly in it

And, I'm not kidding here, are adult diapers adequate for IBS sufferers? What steps can you take to temporarily minimize IBS? What if you take a medication that'll make you really sleepy so you can just sleep through the flight, or slow down your digestive tract?

And lastly: Expedia does show you the equipment type before you buy the ticket. It's listed at "Step 1: Review the FLight Details."

Generally I take Immodium A&D when I am having not-so-good days. This is usually about once a week. I will probably end out taking it before the flight anyways, but having that extra security and reassurance goes a LONG way. Also, not so positive that returning 3 days later to encounter the same exact flight will be fun. My tract will just be getting over the medicine from 3 days ago... If I knew I had a restroom available, I probably wouldn't take the medicine which would be very good.

Continental doesn't have direct from Cincy to Newark? Even still I would expect them to fly a 737 or Embraer from Cincy to Cleveland.
