I suffer from the same affection as you do. What I did before I went on an 8 hour flight was practising the self catheterisation which was quite scary to me but trust me, holding up your pee 8 hours hurts a 100 times more. I stripped a very thin electrical wire of its copper so the outer mantle became a flexible tube. I desinfected the in and outside of the tube at home and took it with me in my jeans pocket. I also took some lube with me in a sachet which is sold with condoms. It will not be detected by a scanner. At home I practised and it went quite well, pushed it in gently with some lube and because it was so thin I did not feel it at all. On the actual flight I used it but tried to pee the natural way first which ofcourse did not help. Then I used the self made catheter and I had instant relief and I was extremely happy. It was better for my fellow travellers too who otherwise would have noticed my bad mood. It took longer to pee because of the small diameter but I didnt care about that as long as I could relief myself. Do remember that desinfecting your hands with a cloth soaked in alcohol is necessary. These are sold as colognette. Have a nice trip!
