I always tell them the only thing I need is water because I can't use the humidifier and it is dehydrating to use one on a plane. They then give me my own liter bottle of water. ^

LH, however was very interested in the battery I was using on board and photographed it and emailed it to the Medical Desk when I checked in for my flight this month. They approved it.
Thank you so much Pat. I shall just carry the necessary letters from the doctor and the manufacturer and keep my mouth shut and if asked just tell them its ResMed's new device.
