Four hours of batteries for each leg of a 5 and 7 hour flight sounds safe to me, as long as they provide the oxygen like they said they would.
Now if I could get my brother to fix his cpap I could give him the information on how to fly with it as well. He is a really tall guy so he always flies first. I am sure that if there is electricity on the plane it is up there though, right?
Power is generally available in almost all First or Business class seats, sometime you just need to look for it.
Most airline limit the in seat power to 75W which is not quite enough for extended CPAP usage (especially with the humidifier on). That was the reason for my use of my own powerpack.
