Im planning on carrying a larger than usual (but smaller) backpack?

on domestic and international and inter european flights.
WITH MY CPAP in it ( and camera etc etc) WITH the certificate of medical need, will I have problems along the way
esp with the airlines? Whats your exp . NOT in taking TWO bags on...but a LARGER than (might be) allowed bag?

you don't need a CMN for a CPAP on US flights. Carry it in the bag you were given with it. Its better to do it that way than risk problems with airport security.
