Tip #2: Secure your AirMini in a travel case

You don't want to lug around a bulky CPAP in addition to your luggage. Your AirMini CPAP weighs only 0.66 lbs and can be used on every adventure: when you're camping, traveling abroad, and even on the airplane!

FAA Approved

Did you know the AirMini is FAA approved for use during your flight? Be sure to take your travel CPAP with you to avoid uncomfortable plane rides robbing you of your sleep.

To ensure your AirMini is safe during your trips, protect it with the AirMini Travel Case! The slim hard case will make sure your device is left undamaged in your carry-on.

Tip #3: Keep your equipment clean

Traveling doesn't mean skipping your cleaning routine. Dust, humidity, and unfamiliar environments can introduce bacteria to your mask and tubing faster than at home. A few simple habits will keep your gear fresh and your therapy effective on the road:

  • Wipe your mask daily - CPAP-safe wipes are compact and travel-friendly. A quick wipe each morning prevents oil and bacteria buildup.
  • Rinse your tubing weekly - warm water and mild soap is all you need. Hang it to dry before packing.
  • Pack a tube brush - a small brush reaches where rinsing alone can't, keeping mold and bacteria out of hard-to-reach spots.
  • Bring a spare cushion - cushions wear faster on the road. A backup keeps your seal tight and your therapy effective.

Tip #4: Use a Medical Device Tag

By law, your CPAP machine cannot be counted toward the airline carry on luggage limit. This bright tag helps airline employees and airport security identify your CPAP as a medical device. Avoid the hassle while checking in for your flight by attaching this luggage tag to your CPAP carrying case.

Medical Device Carry-On Tag

Medical Device Carry-On Tag
  • Expedites security checkpoint process: Indicates your machine is a medical device
  • Won't count as your carry-on bag: Ensures you won't be penalized for having a separate CPAP bag
  • Includes space for personal information: Just in case you are separated from your CPAP
Pro Tip

Print a copy of your prescription and keep it with your CPAP bag. While airlines can't require it, having documentation speeds up any questions from security or gate agents - especially on international flights.
