Thank you for your help.

I can't access your exact question, but if you ever want to ensure you have power for long-haul flights where you need to use CPAP, check out these guys

I bought their product and used it on a flight to- and from- Australia (I flew Qantas), which is 15 hours flying from LA.

This was the only time I used the product but it did a fabulous job.

If you are using CPAP while flying, best to have a window seat so nobody trips over your battery pack, CPAP, hoses, etc...

Would also be a convenient thing to use when camping I suppose, but that's not really my cup of tea. Staying at a hotel is my idea of roughing it.
