Guest guest Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 hi all, my goodness after reading some of the difficulties others have had I feel a bit embarrassed about my whinge! All our airlines seem to have comparable luggage compartments and similar allowances, with just a variation in excess weights, but all allow no excess fee for medical gear - it's just the paperwork that can be confusing... I'm not sure what a 'duffle' is... (in UK a duffle bag was gathered around the top by a rope and slung over the shoulder). The SmartVest comes in its own wheel-pull suitcase and another carrybag for the hose and vest which can be carried as a shoulder bag or slid over the pull-out handles of the main suitcase. The larger one which takes the compressor fits in the overhead locker and the attendants put it in for me (no way I can even reach them anyway!), and the other bag fits under the seat so none of it was a problem that way. The main hassles were at check-in - partly cos no-one knows of them here, were unfamiliar, did I need to use it on board etc. Once that all sorted staff were very helpful. The fall only happened because the service attendant supposed to process us refused and I had to then wriggle my gear through barricades etc. I will be more appreciative of our airline services from now on!! joy h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
