On a separate note this free agent style of flying is getting me an education as to how airlines handle use of a CPAP and similar on board. The new airline this month is British Air. Their website clearly allows use:
You don't need medical clearance to travel with or use a CPAP machine for sleep apnoea.
You can use an adaptor to plug your machine into your in-seat power supply where available. However, we recommend using a dry cell battery in case the power point near your seat is not working.
The maximum output of our in-seat power supply is 75 Watt. If your machine needs a stronger output the power supply will automatically switch off.
If you need to use your CPAP machine on board you can take it with you as an additional item to your hand baggage allowance. However if you don't need to use it on board, it counts towards your hand baggage allowance. Alternatively, you can check it in at no additional charge. Just contact PMCU to authorise this as an additional 'checked baggage' item.
I was surprised about the ability to use in seat power.
I did check with PMCU via email and was told that I had to get medical clearance and have my doctor fill out a form they attached. I wrote back and provided a link to their own website. A day later I received an apology email that I do not need my doctor to complete the form, and that they have noted my record.
Honestly, if your job is the passenger medical clearance unit, shouldn't you know your own rules? How many other people did they put through this ridiculous extra step?
