Pelican 1510 case and airplanes

I have a Pelican 1510 carry on case for my CPAP machine, mask, hose, extension cords and surge protector. The case is foam filled and keeps everything very secure and protected.

This past week I flew to Florida. Was a small plane, one seat on one side and 2 seats on the other side of the isle. The Continental Airline people said that my case would not fit in the small overhead compartment and would have to be loaded under the plane. I insisted there must be another option as I did NOT want to have my machine in the baggage compartment. The flight attendant was LESS than helpful.

Long story short, after insisting that there must be another option. The co-pilot said that the case might fit under the two seats. And yes it certainly did. My husband and I were a little cramped for leg room, but it was a only a 2 hour flight and worth keeping my machine with me.

So if you have a Pelican 1510 and fly on a small plane, it will fit under the double seats.

Happy sleeping,

Sharon,

Thanks for the feedback, I use the same case for my APAP and gear.

Good to know it will fit on the smaller planes.

Always remind flight attendants of the FAA regulation regarding medical devices.
Medical devices cannot be considered luggage and special provisions have to be made for them.
Been researching this for my European trip.
