Is a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device, which assists me with sleep apnoea, permitted in my carry-baggage?
Yes, this equipment is permitted in carry-on baggage provided it does not contain any items considered dangerous goods. At the pre-board screening checkpoint, the CPAP device will be screened by screening equipment and may require a physical search. Since the device requires distilled water to operate and there are restrictions regarding liquids in carry-on baggage, we recommend that you bring documentation that supports your medical condition if you decide to pack the device in your carry-on baggage.
