We are flying British and they have been wonderful so far. They are supplying oxygen for my four year old with respiratory issues and gave us clearance to bring all of his equipment (feeding pump, formula, oxygen saturation meter, portable concentrator etc) as well.

I have never flown with my son though, so I am really nervous.

Are people going to hover because of the oxygen or let us take care of him and his needs without feeling like freaks? Is the oxygen always at a certain place in the airplane, or where ever we are seated is where the tank will be put?

What else do I need to know?

I did read that they will count his portable oxygen concentrator AS his hand luggage, but that would leave us in a bind for diapers and other equipment, since it is a piece of baggage on its own. Are they really strict about that?

We aren't flying until the end of June, so I have time to figure this all out.

Thank you!!
