Hi Jenna!!

Rae brings up good points and questions. Having travelled SO MUCH in my prior career and toward the end of it, being SO incapacitated we would have to make special wheelchair arrangements and the like, all of which was put together by making calls to the airline on which I would ride. Thus, my thought for you is "Be in touch now with your air carrier. Tell them of your plight and the need for in flight recharging of your SCS unit, all of which could be greatly assisted by letters from your doctor and company rep to have in hand to show the air carrier personnel when you show up to board."

I have found airline carriers to be most sympathetic when they would handle me. In your case, it would be even more of a containment issue for them to help assure calm on the aircraft if they "bumped" you up to business class or first class so fewer people would observe your efforts to recharge; furthermore, there you will often find the travellers keep pretty much head in their computers and such so they probably would not notice you at all.

So, there you have it from a WELL experienced traveller pre-SCS, contact the airline and talk over your needs so they may both be prepared and treat you well.

That oughta work,
BIG z,
