Taking your CPAP to Mexico

[Griselda 7]

I hate to lug that thing around, but I guess it is a must have. Did anyone have any problems using their cpaps in Mexico?

Dr. Aceves advised bringing it down when I came for surgery. It wasn't a problem and I'm glad that i did bring it. Slept much better than without I think

I just got my CPAP and thought I would mention that they recommend never putting it in your luggage, only putting it in carry on. I believe you can have an extra carry on if it is medical. Anyway, the machines are not able to withstand the abuse that checked luggage gets. The woman who fitted me happened to have worked loading luggage into planes and she said they luggage is treated roughly- for example when there is a lot they will kick suitcases to fit more in. Yipes
