Mask question for Flights.
Hi, i am flying soon and need to know if this type of mask is ok to wear on a flight?
Its a Powered air respirator with a hepa that blows air into my mask, and the mask has no exhaust valve,
Has anyone had luck wearing one of these on a flight? I'm going overseas soon and was curious,
it helps tremendously With Asthma.

It's about 100% that it won't be considered compliant with Delta's policies. Since the primary purpose of the approved masks is to filter your exhaled breath, it would have to be an approved type to qualify. The valve would disqualify it anyway,
However, double masking is a regular occurrence. If you wore a surgical mask or KN95 on your face and this mask over it, you'd be compliant. That combination should give you sufficient air pressure through the surgical mask.
