The passenger is responsible for determining the requirements by the appropriate airline for these items. TLC Holyland Tours is not responsible for updates to this information. If you must utilize this type of equipment, go to the website of the appropriate airline now to determine steps you may need to take.

An example of requirements from Continental Airlines:
" Effective May 13, 2009, portable electronic personal ventilators, respirators, and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines approved by the FAA may be carried and used on board Continental and Continental Micronesia flights, at no charge, in accordance with specific FAA guidelines.

IMPORTANT: To be used on our flights, the device must display the manufacturer's label indicating it meets FAA requirements. As of May 13, 2009, the U.S. Department of Transportation / FAA have not provided labeling guidance to manufacturers of these devices; therefore, Continental does not accept such devices for use in the cabin at this time if they are not adequately labeled.

Please note that aircraft in-seat electrical power is not available for ventilators, respirators or CPAP machines. Therefore, customers must have an ample supply of fully charged batteries plus 3 hours of extra battery time for the flight to cover any unforeseen delays.
A forty-eight (48) hour minimum advance notification to reservations is required for customers using a ventilator, respirator or CPAP machine onboard. Reservations will ensure the device you are planning to use is on the list of current, approved devices and will provide guidance on the number of batteries you will need for your flight.

Some seating restrictions may be necessary to comply with certain FAA safety rules.

Ventilators, respirators and CPAP machines are considered assistive devices. They must be stowed and used in the passenger cabin consistent with applicable TSA, FAA and other regulations governing carry-on luggage.
Additionally, customers using a ventilator or respirator should travel with backup manually-operated supplies in case of failure of their electronic equipment en-route. Continental does not carry such equipment on-board our aircraft."
