Q. I plan to travel with my pocketbook, carry-on luggage, and a sleep apnea machine. The machine is a medical device but will it put me over the two piece carry-on rule?

A. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, your medical device will not count against carry on limitations and can be brought along with both your carry-on and pocketbook. To be absolutely thorough, you might consider bringing along a doctor's note in the event anyone should question you about it.
