Actually, I don't think you can upgrade the tickets since they are comp tickets.
Well it's a great idea and I will at least ask. They can only say NO, correct?

Hey all still waiting to hear about flight info. I want to know when we are going, like the time and such.
Did find out that a friend will loan us their double stroller for the trip that they just used last month at Disney. They also are loaning us an Ergo Carrier, that they swear by.
Aidan on the other hand is fighting a nasty cold still, but has some new steroid that makes things work better up top (lungs), but very loose down bottom. With his short gut that makes for a very messy experience!
His O2's have come up during the day however, so with a little mess I think we will get through this.
I have an interview on Monday for a new position at my place of employement. Not much but it would be about and extra $300 plus a month. We could really use it, or that dream job with Cochlear I so desire.
Oh I almost forgot. It's official we are part of "The Big Give" they locked me out of the site. Now we anxiousely await package arrivals.

What is O's??So I got an update from MAW, well sort of....
Tickets are purchased, but...
"Your plane tickets have been purchased and you will be leaving on Feb. 21st in the morning and returning Feb. 28th in the afternoon. We will provide you with your exact flight information as we get closer."
Don't they know some people plan WAY to much? I really had hoped that 28th would have been evening or really darn late.
If we need to bring O's for Aidan, do I need to inform the airline first?
What is O's??
I thought it was but I wasnt sure We call it O2Oxygen, sorry for using our own terms.

Anyways, I digress.
We are traveling with O2.
Airlines do not allow you to take your own O2 on the plane. You have to hire a Portable Oxygen Concentrator (one that is approved by the airline)
Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) work in such a way that they only release O2 on inhale, they dont release O2 on exhale. This is to conserve the battery.
Aiden is only quite young isnt he? Does he use a mask or a nasal cannula? I do not know what POC's are available for masks.
As far as documentation as concerned. You have to have a letter from your Doctor to show the airline approving the use of the POC, you also have to have an acknowledgment form signed by yourself stating that you agree to the rules and regulations set out by the airline.
Here are some links
Oxygen to go
Airline travel with Oxygen
Air travel with Oxygen press release
This is the kind of documentation our airline is going to require of us, just to give an idea
Air Tran Airways Special Needs
If you do feel that you have to travel with O2 you are going to have to contact MAW about it immediately as they will have to arrange it all.
I hope this helps.

That is the other name we use. I believe MAW knows but I will confirm with them. He hadn't needed them in so long it was quite a surprise. It was only to get him up from 89-90 to a more healthy range so that he would heal quicker while he slept.
