Traveling with a CPAP
Well traveling with a CPAP was a whole lot easier than I expected.
To keep things simple, I checked my main bag in, though since a CPAP doesn’t count against your carry-on limit, I didn’t have to. However, I flew out of Jamestown on a pretty small plane, so wanted to keep it simple. Going through security was easy. I just pulled it out and put it in its own bin and while I was repacking my laptop checked it, and I was through.
The way back was just as easy through the Phoenix airport and Minneapolis airport. I had been told having a copy of your prescription was recommended, but I doubted this and didn’t bring one. No, indeed it wasn’t needed at all.
So my best advice for other CPAP travelers – treat it just like a laptop and you will be fine.
