  1. Hardly. I wasn't looking for facts. I was hoping for impressions and feedback from someone who has actually used their CPAP on a plane. While I appreciate your point about trying to use the face mask and nasal mask together at home -- definitely valid -- I feel that your other statements are not as helpful. My original post was specifically directed to people who " ha[ve] used their CPAP on a flight? "
  2. Mine slid really easily -- of course, it didn't do anything! Truthfully, though, I spent a couple of hours exploring the ship to determine where the camera was, using the VB display as my reference point!
  3. I was seeking impressions vs specific information -- but here goes: My main concerns with using a CPAP on a plane are: 1. Where do you put the CPAP? On the floor by your feet? I assume the battery would be on the floor. 2. If you wear a mask and have a nasal mask on the CPAP, is there a way to use both? 3. Has anyone tried using the BreatheRite strips in place of a CPAP? 4. Was it "worth" lugging the battery and using your CPAP on the plane (assuming CPAP use is optional and not mandatory for an individual)?
  4. Thanks, I understood that. Still hoping for input on whether anyone has used their CPAP while onboard a flight.
  5. Thanks, @FlyerTalker, I didn't express myself well. I won't be using it as I don't want to lug the battery along just for the 9-hour flight. I wondered if anyone had experienced using their CPAP on a flight, and whether exceptions were ever made for using the electrical outlets.
  6. I use a CPAP for sleep apnea. I'll be headed to Europe in 31 days for a TransAtlantic cruise, on a 9 hour flight. I'll be taking my Dream Station Go in my carryon, but was wondering if anyone has used their CPAP on a flight? I'll be on Air France operated by Delta. Per Delta's site, I'll have to lug along my battery (which I've used for camping), so I doubt I'll try to use it. On the other hand, if I could plug it into a 110 v outlet on the plane . . . I survived a 15 hour flight from Vancouver BC to Sydney AU without it, and can do so again. Was just curious . . .
  7. I have Tricare For LIfe and Medicare. On a 7-night cruise out of Miami on RCL Oasis of the Seas in December, I fell (while in Philipsburg, St Maarten) and fractured my wrist. Long story short, I didn't want to go to the ER on St Maarten, so got back on the ship and went to the Medical Center the next morning (after icing, ibuprofen, and no improvement). I had purchased Travel Insurance through Travelex, and since it was the primary payer, I didn't even bother with Medicare or TFL; just paid the (actually very reasonable) charge of $560 via my credit card, and then put in for reimbursement, which was done very quickly through their Travelon app. My recommendation? Pick up travel insurance but make sure it's primary rather than secondary.
  8. I'll be flying Air France (Delta) from Seattle to Amsterdam and then KLM from Amsterdam to Copenhagen at the end of August, booked using RCL's Air2Sea. This is the first time in over . . . umm, lots of years, that I've done a transfer in a European airport. It's my understanding that my checked bag will (hopefully!) be transferred to my connecting flight, and that all I have to do is get myself and my carryon to the next gate. I don't go through Customs/Immigration until I reach Copenhagen, right? I have about a 2-hour layover, and am hoping that since I'll be beyond the security "curtain" that I won't have a security line to contend with --- right?
  9. @hallasmI will be in Copenhagen (hopefully!) for two full days before my cruise in September. I'm not really a city person, although I do like history. Could you recommend some day trips to parts of Denmark not often seen? I am happy to travel via bus or train, and will be staying (probably) in an AirBnB in Copenhagen so will hopefully get some tips from my hosts as well. I love seeing the ocean/water, but would also like to explore inland. Where would you go for a day trip (to a "country" type destination, as opposed to a city)?
  10. How is AMS for transiting passengers? I'll be flying in September from Seattle - AMS, and then KLM from AMS - Copenhagen -- with about a 2-hour layover
  11. I've used the AT&T International Day Pass in ports on several cruises, and it has worked great. Do, however, make sure that you switch back to airplane mode BEFORE or AS the ship departs the port. It would make more sense on a port-intensive itinerary
  12. Having done this in February on Navigator, and assuming it's not going to be significantly different in Europe, I can suggest that you make contact with the Loyalty Ambassador (LA) (you'll be on Voyager, right?) when you board for the first part of your B2B. S/he can then verify your current status (then at 76 points) and can coordinate for you to get your Diamond status at the start of the TA (I'll see you there!!!). In my case, the LA thought she was leaving Navigator at the end of my first part of the B2B, so she put me in contact with the Diamond Lounge Concierge so I could touch base with him as soon as I reboarded Navigator. As it happened, she ended up staying onboard, but they both took care of me.
  13. In the past (way, way past -- 1970s!) my PCS to Germany had to be on a US Flag Carrier -- i.e., not Lufthansa, which is what I flew on. I didn't get reimbursed for my flight (which, fortunately, wasn't very much). Things may have changed, but that's the first thing I would check, as I'm pretty sure Cunard is not US Flagged.
  14. Thanks for the input, @DiplomatOne. As I mentioned in my original post, I am retired -- as an Army retiree, I am Category 6, which is the "lowest" category, but not at all dependent on rank -- just seats available and time of sign up. I would not use it if I was on any kind of set schedule, but was interested to hear of (any) others' experiences with it, and could see using it with flexible back up (i.e., refundable commercial flights).
  15. Has anyone used / considered the use of Space A as a means to get to / from a cruise? Obviously, it would mean padding time on the front and/or back ends of a cruise, but could also present an opportunity to take advantage of last-minute cruise pricing. Thoughts? As a clarification, I'm retired, so recognize that the time element is not as much of a factor for me.
