Is CPAP a Carry-On When Flying? Travel Tips for Sleep Apnea Users

Traveling with a CPAP Machine in Gilbert, Arizona

If you use a CPAP machine for sleep apnea, you can bring it on the plane without worry. Most airlines classify CPAP devices as medical equipment, so they do not count as carry-on luggage. This allows you to keep your machine with you, protect it from damage, and stay consistent with your sleep therapy while traveling.

Before flying, check your airline’s policy, bring a doctor’s note if needed, and carry your CPAP in a protective travel case. Frequent travelers may benefit from a smaller portable unit.
