  1. Don't forget your documents - CPAP prescription
  2. Get a luggage tag - Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, a CPAP machine is not considered carry-on luggage, make sure to mark your carrying case with a medical device luggage tag
  3. Long flight? - Verify that your airline has powered seats so you'll be able to use your machine in the air, it'll also help to review their policy on in-flight use
