Echoing Sue’s question about leaving the vest behind for a few days, do other users have experience with this? I am debating the same thing for an upcoming trip. I will of course mask on the plane, bring my portable nebulizer etc but with the timing it could be hard to squeeze in vest sessions. I don’t want any set backs so just looking at risk vs rewards. Several days off then resume upon return. This being said for longer trips I would plan to bring it along.

Several years ago I ditched my 17lb vest/CPU unit for travel and purchased a chargeable hand-held massager/percusser from Brookstone. Cost was approx $200. The handle grip enables me to easily reach my entire back area. This has served me well for traveling, can be carried in personal carryon bag & has only been questioned once (recently) by TSA. Because of lithium battery, it must be carry-on only.

Do you have an Aerobika or Acapella device that you could use for those days?
I can tell you from experience that skipping airway clearance for more than a day has always (over 7 years) been a bad idea for my lungs!
