Update: As my wife and I were amazed at the myriad requests from Qatar (including completing a “Qatar Doctor Form”) l finally called their customer support number. It appears that my request to use my CPAP in business class triggered a “needs oxygen during the entire flight” scenario via my CPAP. Af...

Thanks, I have purchased and received a Medistrom Pilot 24 and will be trying it out at home very soon. From all of the input received it appears to be the best solution for my CPAP machine. Have been using a CPAP for over 10 years now and am on my 3rd machine (Resmed S8, S9 S10). So far the S10 has...

Is it FAA or IATA approved? It is FAA compliant. Neither FAA or IATA explicitly approves battery packs There is a general IATA requirement (see IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations for lithium batteries) that the maximum battery pack capacity for cabin baggage is less-than 100Wh capacity. The Medistrom...

I have the Medistrom Pilot 24 lite which I recently used on a flight from Singapore to Sydney with my Resmed AirSense 10, with humidifier turned off and machine in airplane mode. Overall I am pretty happy with the battery, which I was able to fit nicely in my CPAP bag. Being in business class with ...

So far Resmed battery and converter run about $800USD The resmed battery doesn't need a converter. That doesn't make up for it's outrageous price tag though. It seems that ion batteries below 100Wh are allowed on board only in carry on bags. So the Resmed at 90Wh is approved. I found a Freedom batt...

Because it's ResMed. I was assuming that but wanted to make sure. They also recommend using a DC/DC converter for the most efficient use that runs about $90. It supposedly gives up to 13 hours of use which seems better than the non-Resmed battery. However, the cheaper batteries already include come...

Have researched this topic on this site and Determined it is better to just buy a battery than try to use my Resmed S10 via airline plug. Some airlines will let you use an at-seat power outlet for a xPAP device, while other wont. Even the ones that let you use at-seat power, will not guarantee that...

Several years ago I flew to Europe on IcelandAir and called to ask about the baggage allowance of the cpap. I had no intention of using it during the flight, but they took this to mean that I was a was a health risk, liable to drop dead at any moment. My tickets were flagged as a health risk and I ...

Hello all, FYI: traveling on Qatar Airlines this April and upon making reservations I gave them a “heads up” regarding bringing a CPAP on board and possibly using it in business class. Next thing is a receive an email stating the following: Thank you for contacting Qatar Airways. We will like to inf...
