I have a CPAP and I'm flying back on the SMF-IAH redeye next month. I might use it in-flight with the in-seat power on the 739. I say might, because the flight is short, so I might just stay up and watch tv or whatever.
I know CO used to prevent CPAP usage in-flight, but their page now says:
https://www.continental.com/web/en-U...ntilators.aspx
I do not have a battery for my CPAP and I have no interest in buying one or carrying one for this trip. If I call to give Continental to give the advance notice that I have a CPAP, but will not have a battery, will they give me a hard time?
Also, if I put in a request like this, will it do anything to my automatic elite upgrade request? (I'm a Premier matched to Silver, so I am still not as familiar with the CO system.)
Like I said, I might use the CPAP, but if it is going to be a pain for whatever reason, it can just stay in my bag.
Thanks,
