<p>Let the airline know you have a CPAP machine and inform them it will have to come in the cabin as hand luggage.</p>
<p>Do NOT put it in the hold, it might end up broken or in another part of the world.</p>
<p>If you have a manual for the machine take it with you, it explains what the machine is.</p>
<p>Take basic spares with you including some cling film (cut to a narrow strip to wrap round a burst hose) spare fuses and a screwdriver (but put the screwdriver in hold with the rest of your goods as it will be taken off you) some electrical insulation tape in case it is needed for the hose or anything else.</p>
<p>A long light extension lead with two connectors at the end of the cable, one for the machine and the other for the phone.</p>

<p>You MUST TELL THE AIRLINE you have a CPAP that you need to take on board as hand luggage. well in advance so as you can get a letter back from them.</p>

<p>Enjoy your holiday.</p>
