Hopping On A Plane

Post by SalSessa » Fri Feb 24, 2006 2:12 pm

I'm off to Maui (yea!)

Will be my first plane trip, though, after being diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. I have had much success with CPAP and sleep like a baby with it.

But, on a seven hour red-eye, I am a bit concerned about dozing off and waking up in an apnea choking frenzy.

Any advice on how to handle the trip?

TIA,

SAS

call your airline and ask if they can provide power. I am fly back from Ohau and United has set me up so that I can use my S8 on the way back I also have the 12 adapter for it.

Let's assume I can't.

What do most of you folks do?

At least I'm in an upright position which should be to my advantage, no?

Exactly.

Maui. What a wonderful vacation that will be! Hope you have a great time and plenty of restful sleep...after you get off the plane.
