Spare hose,
Spare mask,
Spare cushion,
Spare humidifier,
Spare filter
My spare stuff takes up more room in my carry-on than the stuff I plan on using.
yeah, past a certain point, i don't think it can be referred to as "carry-on".
people say i'm self absorbed.
but that's enough about them.

Noticed generic CPAP hoses available at Walmart ( in Florida)

I forgot my hose on a Motorcycle trip years ago. Went to a medical suppy store, they didn't keep C pap supplies in stock but he found an elbow that fit and sold me 5 foot of that Blue Airway Hose. Worked fine for the weekend. True that was 3 machines ago and not a heated airway but may still work.

Something to think about. I was thinking of bringing a spare mask on vacation but did not think of bringing a spare hose. Especially in Mexico or someplace you don't leave the resort.
