Re: vest on the plane--need a script?

[Guest guest]

To heavy for overhead bin!! You have 2 choices:

(1) they put it ON place - last like a carriage -by door-maybe a script would

be needed - call AIRPORT. Explain need and cost of equipment and see what

they advise.

(2) put in on the w/ suitcases-

If Make a wish doing trip they will arrange for vest to get to hotel and

picked up.

It will fit in some aircrafts, and it will not fit in others. If it

does not fit on the overhead compartment, the flight attendants will

stow it in the front. You do not need to have a prescription, be

prepare to ask a thousand questions, exagerating, on each check

point. If you are going from the east coast to the west coast more

than likely it will be a big plane.

On our recent trip to Venezuela, we took a total of 8 planes and

were in 4 different airports, everybody was very sweet and very

helpful, including the TSA people at the airports. You should not

have any problems.

We recently flew Continental to Hawaii and took our grandaughter and not a word

said to us and we stored in overhead. We just said it was a carry on and

nothing said but few people asked what it was. Debbie

The new one is supposed to fit under the seat, I have heard. I would carry a

doc's note for it and any other equipment/meds you plan to take with you.

Have a good trip!

,

You don't need any additional documentation for the Vest. I take mine all over

the country and I turn it in as luggage. If they ask me what it is, I tell them

that it is a medical device. They usually tag it as fragile and have me sign a

waiver that they are not responsible for any damage. Your guarantee on the Vest

covers damage during air travel. I have schlepped mine around and have never

had a problem. I even used to put the Model 103 (the bigger unit) on the plane

with no problem.

I don't know if it fits under the seat in the plane. I have never tried.

Taking a letter or a script with you is not a bad idea. You never know when you

will run into some gung-ho screener that gives you all sorts of grief. It has

not happened to me, but you know 's Law.

Take care. I hope this helps.

We encountered this problem last year as well unless you have the new small

machine no it will not fit overhead . I after showing my bad side to the

airline attendants was allowed by the captin of the plane to keep it in his

cockpit

and on the small commuter plane to keep it in the closet up front . Be very

firm w/ them I simply told them they could pay the thousands of $$$$$ tpo

replace it if it got broken in baggage ! Hey it worked for me !
