Going to FL in July and I am a home dialysis patient. The machine that I use is slightly larger then the carry on specs for United. The length & Height are good but the width is 16" or so. This is life saving medical equipment and I would like to bring it as carry on because I know how luggage is handled when out of sight.
Would anyone know if I would be able to bring it on because what I use it for and if so are there any protocols that I should follow with contacting United ahead of time? Any suggestions for who exactly to ask for or what to discuss would be appreciated. First time traveling with this and of course pretty nervous that something might go wrong.
This is the machine that is used. The actual measurements are 19L X 16.6W X 9H
