Travel ?

[Bubbles2024]

I am curious how one packs for an airline trip with all this extra stuff. I am accustomed to only traveling with carry-ons. I usually have my roller suitcase and my backpack that fits under the seat in front of me. I am just curious how others pack and how much hassle you get going through TSA and boarding. I am not looking forward to traveling with all of it, but I am looking forward to the trip. I have an airsense 11 for those who wonder if I have a travel machine I do not. This will be the one I take.

CPAP is carryon & does not count as one of your pieces. I purchased a tag to put on the case that designates it as a CPAP.

How many bags did you travel with before CPAP and how many do you travel with now?

I believe you are allowed a carryon, a personal item, and whatever medical device(s) you need.

When a TSA agent wanted to swab my machine for explosive residue with the same gloves she wore when handling other's dirty underwear (I assume), I asked her to change to new gloves. She complied with my request. This occured prior to enrolling in TSA Pre-check.

I put my CPAP (AS 10) underneath the seat in front of me. I won't put it in the bin where some galoot might throw a roll-on onto it. My backpack and roll-on go into the overhead bin.

The CPAP bag has a strap that fits nicely on the extended handle of the roll-on.

One time, the TSA asshole insisted on checking my CPAP for bomb residue. That was several years ago. We no longer have a problem with TSA. They see multiple CPAPs on each flight.

A few years ago, they changed the rules so those 75+ don't have to take off their shoes. I loved this.
