So, effectively, on the 767, any seat apart from emergency exit and bulk head seats can be allocated as there needs to be a seat in front to stow the oxygen unit under.
My colleague has already told you about the 777 and 747 systems.
Hope you have a good trip, any more questions, feel free to ask.
Thank you! That solves our bulkhead worries on that leg and gives me a heads up not to expect to store his portable oxygen concentrator under the seat in front of him - and that we WILL need his portable oxygen concentrator for trips to the bathroom on all flights.
We are planning on bringing our own nasal cannulas and oxygen mask, since he is a child and the airline ones are presumably adult size. The customer service people weren't really sure how things worked to tell me if I will be able to use my supplies. They are pretty standard across the world, so I have hope, but it sounds like you might actually know!
The picture shows a pretty good idea of what his nasal cannulas and the connectors look like, if that helps. Are they likely to work with the airlines oxygen system?
Thank you!
