Does seatguru still work?
Once I knew my flight number, I could find out what plane I would be on, and where was my seat;
they even have ratings and comments on the seats.

You will not have a problem flying southwest. I used a SW "buddy pass" recently, which meant I was standby and literally the last passenger on the plane if there was a seat. The cpap bag was easy to stow in the overhead compartment and I placed my laptop and carry on bag under the seat. If questioned about the third bag just smile and say medical equipment, I have never had a problem at the gate. Tsa may have you take the portion with the motor out of the bag, like a laptop, when going through the X-ray machine.

I haven't flown them in 30 years (just couldn't deal with the heard boarding procedure) but I'm sure they will allow it. I think they have to allow it. I went to Hawaii in Nov. and checked the thing but if your bags get lost you will spend some nights without it. I was praying my bags would get lost but Delta did a good job, unfortunately.
