Air Travel w/Eclipse
Hi folks, For those of you interested in renting or buying a portable oxy concentrator (POC) like the Sequal Eclipse, Inogen etc; I just bit the bullet and booked a flight and rented a POC from an on line site. BEST thing I've ever done (so far).
I traveled by myself to visit my daughter. Every one at the airports were overly considerate. The unit fit right under my seat, and my carryon each time was hoisted to the bin above and retrieved at flights end by a steward.
I wound up buying a brand new unit for myself and am so looking forward to getting up and just going.....don't have to call my supplier with advance notice of where I'm staying, no heavy tanks to lug, the unit can run all day when driving and then plug in to any wall socket to save on battery use or to recharge the battery. And best of all I can use my Cpap equipment at night with the POC I rented.
If you are thinking of buying, now is a good time as they want to get rid of the older models before the new arrive and they've dropped the price. You can always ask what the update would be on the new model for comparison.
Summer Rain, I got the type that you have. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about it awhile back. It gave me the push to get started that I needed.
Sweet breathing all,
Olgas
