C class on UA is so narrow tho, it's tough for me to get it all hooked up. There's no storage, so I have to throw it under the seat after I recline it flat. Noise doesn't really bother anyone but I tell my seatmates that if it should bother them to please let me know so I can disconnect. Econ Plus on the 777 has it, down low between the seats. There's just not enough recline for me to really even try though.

    ?!?!? Seriously, I think my seatmate will be more bothered by my locomotive snore (according to the mrs she feels like sleeping at the train station) than the whizzing of the machine (which I believe is softer than the engine sound).

    Ah yes F & C has power outlets. I still wonder if the attendants here will freak out seeing a guy in mask thinking he might die any minute now.....

    I always tell the flt attendants, just as a courtesy. If you're still making snoring sounds and you're wearing the mask then something is not right. Do you use a chin strap, cuz I have to. Else I just open the mouth, and pretty much the whole purpose of the machine is negated.

    nah, I mean before I got my cpap I was waking up the neighborhood. I don't open my mouth so I'm fine. chin strap + mask might look scary for most people. I've a few more question regarding the cpap. Will PM you instead of hijacking this thread
