How to Travel With Airline CPAP Machine Accessories

    • 1). When you make your flight reservation, notify the airline that you will be carrying a CPAP on the flight. If you wish to use your CPAP during the flight (if you will be flying overnight and sleeping on the plane) ensure that you are seated next to an appropriate outlet, usually located in first class or business class, and ask the airline representative if you will need an adapter to connect your CPAP to the outlet.

    • 2). Obtain a prescription for the CPAP or a statement of medical necessity from your physician. Since sleep apnea is a 'hidden' condition, the physician's statement can help prove to airline security that you need to travel with the CPAP.

    • 3). Prior to the flight, pack the CPAP and all its components such as the face mask and tubing securely in the travel case. Do not attempt to check your CPAP with your luggage. It is a delicate piece of equipment and could be damaged in the storage compartment.

    • 4). According to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), CPAP machines are allowed beyond security checkpoints, but first they need to be x-rayed and tested for explosive trace. If you are concerned about cleanliness, you have the right to request that the machine be placed in a clear plastic bag before it is x-rayed and that the screeners put on a fresh pair of gloves before checking for explosive trace.
