Flying with a person with special needs, especially one with a lot of medical equipment, can be daunting. I'm really glad the first time we flew with Abby was without the bipap, neb, and cough assist! If my first time was with all of this stuff, I think we might be driving to Vancouver! :) This will be a long post with a lot of information, but bare with me. I think you will find my personal experience and the links I share helpful. My number one piece of advice for flying with a person with special needs is to NOT assume that anything is fine! Ask about EVERYTHING! Contact your individual airline's special needs consultant to make sure that any equipment you have is safe for the flight. Not everything is and sometimes only certain brands/models are allowed. Certain batteries aren't allowed, so check for any equipment that runs on battery. It can also vary by airline, so please call and ask. The last thing you...
Choosing joy and trusting God!
