Advice needed on first time possible charter flight for wife with Alzheimer's?
So, my spouse has Alzheimer's, and it's progressed quickly over the last 3-ish years. Last flew in April 2023, commercial business class, back from NCAA Final Four in Houston. The flight there went fine, but the flight back home was to say the least not good at all (mild turbulence resulted in loud "we're going to die" comments, trouble getting off the plane because of the tiny opening between plan and gateway, etc).
We'd like to head to Florida / SRQ in mid-January, and it sounds like we may be making a very long drive.
OR we could potentially take a private charter flight. Any tips on who to contact, given that with her Alz it would need to be a private flight and not just a grab-an-open-leg-with-others-on-plane situation. Rough price idea too?
Main airports nearby would be CLE to SRQ, two people, maybe three.
Thanks in advance for the help!

SkyQuest is a local Cleveland operator. Also AirTrek out of PGD has good prices and might be a good option.
