Easy Transportation with Porta-Lung

We have traveled by car with my Porta-Lung. It is very doable. My parents load into the back of our Explorer conversion van and off we go. We have brought it into hotels where we put it on the luggage cart and wheeled it into the room. We either lay it on the bed or put it on the floor. It’s pretty heavy at 96 lbs, but manageable! I have never put my Porta-Lung on an airplane for fear that the airlines would damage it, putting it in the baggage hold of the plane, or fear they could lose it altogether. One is better off erring on the side of caution so if I fly, I go to my relatives’ houses where I have a Porta-Lung already set up.
