Travelling with CPAP in Australia: a practical checklist

CPAP machines are medical devices and do not count towards your carry-on allowance on Australian carriers. Always carry yours in the cabin rather than checking it.

For flights and camping, a travel device like the Yuwell Pocket S or ResMed AirMini plus a battery pack is far easier to live with than lugging a bedside machine and its water tub.

Pack a spare cushion, a spare filter and a universal power adaptor. Distilled water is not always easy to find on the road, so waterless humidification options are worth asking us about.

Bring a copy of your prescription. It is rarely requested, but it removes any argument at a security checkpoint.
