You're not going to find any documentation supporting your position, because your position is not true. That are no laws, ADA or FAA requirements that CPAP must be allowed as carry-on and not count towards one's carry-on. Most US (and other countries) carriers have a policy stating as much, but it'...

Periodically I fly to Mexico via Aeromexico. This company seems to have a policy regarding bringing a CPAP machine on board that violates FAA guidelines and ADA requirements. According to Aeromexico, CPAP machines are allowed in the cabin, but they count as one of the carry-ons. Obviously, this make...

I tried emailing them but no response. I think they might be Chinese. Australians seem to be able to get the masks but I'm in the US.

Hi, folks. Some of you might have already seen in the last few days that I've been trying to figure out how to travel with my (Airsense) CPAP machine while being prepared for a possible power outage in Mexico. There are portable battery packs available, but they would only power my machine for about...

I travel internationally annually. I travel with the Pilot Lite 24 by Medistrom. It’s FAA approved for flight. I travel with it in my carry on and use it to power my clap on the plane on overnight long haul flights. I’ve never once been questioned about it in numerous overseas flights. Sorry to rep...

It's time for me to go to Mexico again for dental work. The last time I went there was a pretty long power outage and I wound up without CPAP use. Didn't sleep a wink that night which was miserable. So, now I'm looking into getting a TSA friendly CPAP battery backup -- see this previous thread: http...

Hmm.. Well, when I'm awake and up, I often heat the house in the colder months and that does tend to dry things out. But I sleep with the window open and the heater off. I don't live in a particularly dry climate. And this was never a problem with my Philips Respironics System One, which could go fo...

Hello, everyone. I recently upgraded my CPAP from a Philips Respironics System One (OLD) a ResMed AirSense 10, which I had for a short while and which was then exchanged for an AirSense 11. (To be honest, I kind of liked the AirSense 10 a little better then the 11, but that's another discussion.) Bo...

I believe I was one of the people who started some of the "camping" discussions when I was tryin to figure out how to power my CPAP at home in case of power outage. Now I'm asking primarily something different. I'm asking what I can take with me when traveling (by plane) to power the CPAP for at lea...

Last week I was on a brief trip out of the country (in Mexico) when my section of town lost power for 18 hours. I got no sleep that night, due to the inability to run my CPAP. At home I now have very robust power backup for my CPAP, such that I could run it more or less indefinitely without power fr...

I finally have a new CPAP machine! (I must have been the last person to be using the Philips Respironics System One machines long after the recall.) Now I need to get myself a DC adapter, so I can plug the machine into my solar generator when the power goes out. I found one on CPAP.com for $95, but ...

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I turned up the humidifier and it helped. Or maybe just my cold got better

Hello everyone. I haven't posted here in a long time. I've been recovering from a pretty annoying head cold. Now at the stage when the congestion is more thick and less runny (sorry for the TMI). My CPAP is what allows me to sleep with this cold, but the last two days I've been waking up too early w...

Hello, everyone. I live in Northern California, San Francisco Bay Area. In my city and in at least one surrounding town, there seems to be a drastic shortage of distilled water. Is anybody else dealing with this? I haven't been able to find it for weeks and have now officially run out. I'm thinking ...

what can I do? Are you doing saline nasal rinses twice per day? https://www.amazon.com/NeilMed-NasaFlo-Unbreakable-Premixed-Packets/dp/B000ITHH86/ref=sr_1_23 You could use Nasalcort or a similar spray after the nasal rinses. I haven't been using nasal sprays, no, since antibiotics are involved and ...
