I am bowel incontinent and fully sympathize with you. Of course, a family bathroom or a handicap restroom is preferred, if one is available.
Regarding smell, I have not found an effective solution other than internal deodorants like Nullo, etc.. Plastic pants only delay the odor, and only briefly.
If you are forced to change in a public bathroom, it helps greatly if you have adequate diaper changing supplies with you. In addition to a fresh diaper, this includes plastic disposal bags for the messy diaper and soiled wipes.
You should have a packet of large size wipes. I recommend you have at least 10 wipes (sounds like a lot, but you may need more).
I recommend surgical gloves to keep the mess and odor from adhering to your hands and then transferring to your clothing.
I have found paper towels to be more effective than wipes for initially removing any fecal solids that stick to your bottom. Then use the wipes.
A plastic over-the-door hook will give you a way to hang your bag and keep it off the floor. I also have a small section of plastic that I put on the floor to keep clothing, etc. relatively clean.
In addition to the supplies I keep in a small backpack, I keep a "disaster kit" in the trunk of my car. It even contains a complete change of clothing, just in case, and additional plastic bags for the soiled clothing. You probably will not have that with you when you are traveling.
As you have fecal accidents so rarely, it may be overkill for you to keep on hand the items I have mentioned.
