Hi, it’s Eddie the Yeti!
With summer trips, family gatherings, and beach getaways around the corner, you might be wondering: can I travel with my CPAP?

The answer is yes—absolutely!

It’s important to keep using your CPAP while you travel, since symptoms can return when therapy is paused. And let’s be honest—poor sleep can put a damper on any vacation. Here are my simple travel tips to help you sleep well wherever adventure takes you.


Easy CPAP Travel Tips

Plan Ahead

  • Check your airline’s CPAP policy, especially if you plan to use it in‑flight.
  • Review CATSA guidelines so airport security is smooth and stress‑free.

Pack Smart

  • Bring your CPAP as a carry‑on to avoid damage or lost luggage.
  • Label your device as medical equipment.
  • Empty and dry the humidifier before packing.
  • Pack extra mask cushions—just in case.

Tip: Place your CPAP in a clear plastic bag during security screening to keep it clean.

Bring Your Prescription

  • Helpful if you need supplies or support while away.
  • May also be requested by airport security.

Consider Power Options

  • If you’re camping or traveling where power access is limited, a battery pack may be useful.

Travel Often?

  • Lightweight travel CPAP machines are compact and easy to carry—worth considering for frequent flyers.

Hope this helps put your mind at ease, sleepy yetis. Safe travels and sweet dreams! 💤
