I am going to assume that they aren't going to give us a hard time about a carry on for him in addition to his O2, which is a 20lb machine on a rolling cart. It isn't even logical to say we can have one or the other when at the same time saying we can bring it and his other medical equipment. I think I will just pack what he needs and pray for the best.

Thank you for your reply. I really appreciate it!
Is you equipment "FAA approved POC"? The FAA approval is the key. The manufacturer might have information. If it is get it in written form that their equipment is FAA certified.

Pressurized O2 tanks was not FAA approved for cabin use.
