After breaking my leg last Thanksgiving, I had to figure this out on our cruise in May. I had to transfer from my scooter to the skinny little aisle chair in the jetway. Two attendants wheeled me right up to my aisle seat in first class and I slid over. One flight I had to sit by the window and that was more difficult but we managed.
Use the wall or seatback for support as you rise. If you are really in trouble, a sling from a Hoyer lift may help you get up. You can’t bring the whole thing, but the sling itself can help.
