One more thing: never check your CPAP in your luggage. Ever. Airlines lose bags. They crush them. They send them to Guam by accident. Keep your machine on your person like a precious gem. Because it is.
Also, bring an extension cord. Power outlets are often hidden under seats, next to your neighbor’s smelly feet. A 6-foot cord lets you place your CPAP on your tray table. Now you’re a sleep king on a throne of air.
So, can you use a CPAP on an airplane? Absolutely. It’s legal, easy, and honestly kind of hilarious. You’ll sleep like a baby while everyone else pretends to nap with their necks at 90-degree angles. Go ahead. Be the hero of the red-eye.
Now pack your mask, grab your battery, and board that plane. Sweet dreams at 40,000 feet. You’ve earned it.
