Important Travel Tips
Be sure to empty your water reservoir before departure and bring your CPAP prescription with you. Security agents may ask questions, but most of the time, they are familiar with these devices. Ideally, carry your CPAP with you in the cabin rather than checking it in your luggage to avoid damage. Since it is considered medical equipment, it does not count as a carry-on bag—so why not take advantage of that?
The quality of your sleep is important, even when traveling abroad! Your respiratory health matters to us, so don’t hesitate to consult your respiratory therapist if you have any questions about your next trip and your sleep apnea treatment. We are here for you!
