I'll be taking my first trip with my machine. I'm looking forward to it as I hope to not be in a complete haze on the trip like I have been the last year or so on work trips. Combine the flights with time zone changes, hotel rooms and earlier than normal "wake ups" and normally resulted a complete fog for the whole week.
So far I have been super slow in the summer... only one three day, two night trip the last two months but I will be cranking back up to normal. Next week I will be away from home for 4 nights in San Antonio and Norfolk. 6 total flights. Following week Omaha to Omaha for three nights and the week after back to Norfolk for the whole week.
So far my stats for the year look something like this:
Flights: 58
Actual Miles: 72.5K
Days in the air: 6.4
For those wondering, thankfully:
First Class: 36
Business Class: 6
Economy Plus: 14
Economy: 2
Anyone else a road warrior? Any tips for me?

I've flown to 27 countries on four different continents since 2000. I've never had a major issue.

And every country sent him back to the U.S.A.!
I did most of mine at one time 23 hours in a 707, at least I got a round trip ticket, to bad it had a 1 year lay over in Viet Nam.

I haven't flown since March of 1984. For a number of years prior to that, I flew A LOT! All over this country......commercial and company-owned planes. At this point in my life, I have no intentions of ever getting on a plane again.

Re: Which CPAP users fly the most?
I fly during my vacation times (four times a year as I'm a teacher). I never thought to add up the mileage. My most frequent trip is Brisbane to Perth which takes 6 hours and the return is a bit less as the flight doesn't have to avoid headwinds. The round trip is about 8000 kms.
