I don't believe that I have seen this topic before...and now with March coming up, am wondering if anyone here does travel with their CPAP machine in tow. I am more concerned about the logistics of carrying it on board, going through customs, and TSA, etc. It won't be used on the plane but am wondering how others have fared with this. Also, if they have had TSA problems, with them maybe not knowing what it is etc. Thanks in advance.

I’ve traveled numerous times with mine. It is considered a medical device and is not counted as a carryon. Even prior to Covid I always put all of the components in individual sealable gallon bags for sanitary purposes, in the event it was inspected.
Edited to add TSA etc. know what they are.

just throwing this out there....another alternative to the CPAP is Inspire Sleep Apnea Innovation. Go to www.inspiresleep.com and read up on it and see if it's for you. I have a friend who had the procedure and swears by it.
