machine on planes
Do I need a copy of my prescription to bring my machine on a plane?
Re: machine on planes
AFAIK, normally not. But if you're travelling internationally it can be useful - i've been asked for it a couple of times outside of the US (as a security measure), though more and more they know what a CPAP is.
PR System One APAP, 10cm
Activa nasal mask + mouth taping w/ 3M micropore tape + Pap-cap + PADACHEEK + Pur-sleep
Hosehead since 31 July 2007, yippie!

Re: machine on planes
you want to check with your airline, not all seats have power... and some have tight restrictions on battery size as other posts have discussed. In business class I have no trouble using my machine. Int he back of the plan typically I can not use it.

Re: machine on planes
Just bring it on, I was told it wouldn't be counted as a carryon
Re: machine on planes
That is right, but with one potential pitfall. Don't toss anything unrelated to CPAP into your carrying case. The airline may count it as a carry on if you have stuffed that extra pair of socks that wouldn't fit into the suitcase into the CPAP bag.pattipayroll wrote:Just bring it on, I was told it wouldn't be counted as a carryon
