Please excuse me for interjecting with what may be a dumb question--since I am totally ignorant when it comes to engineering, etc: I have a Prestige ST (metal on metal) and am scheduled to go to Quito next month. Quito is over 9,000 feet. We are also taking a small plane down to the Ecuadoran coast and I'm not sure if or how well it is pressurized. Is my ADR at risk???
