Travel Tips for Portable Oxygen Concentrators
Travel Planning – Be Organized and Travel Calmly
Talk to your doctor in advance about your travel plans, ideally 4–6 weeks before departure.
Choose a destination with good air quality and check available healthcare facilities.
Prepare all important documents, such as prescriptions, medical certificates, and a travel certificate for your oxygen device to show airlines or security if required.
Transport and Safety with CPAP or Oxygen
Always carry your medical device in hand luggage to protect it from damage or loss, especially when flying.
In a car, ensure the CPAP or oxygen concentrator is securely fastened and not exposed to direct heat or sunlight.
For flights, trains, or buses, inform the transport company in advance about your needs – for portable oxygen concentrators, early registration is often required to avoid complications during check-in or boarding.
Reliable Power for CPAP and Oxygen Devices
To ensure continuous therapy during travel, always carry fully charged batteries – ideally at least 150% of the expected travel time.
Check power outlets at your destination and in transport (plane, train, car, or RV).
An international adapter, a 12V car adapter, or a voltage converter can be essential, especially abroad or in locations without continuous power.
Tip: Fully charge all batteries before departure and carry spare ones in hand luggage, as required for lithium-ion batteries.
Important Documents and Emergency Information
Keep all relevant medical documents handy to travel worry-free with CPAP or oxygen device.
This includes insurance details, medical certificates, any prescriptions, and a list of emergency contacts for local doctors or clinics.
Store documents both digitally and on paper for quick access. A clear travel plan with all references provides added security, both locally and abroad.

Travel Tips for CPAP & APAP Devices
In hotels, on planes, or in RVs — with proper preparation, traveling with a CPAP or APAP device is easy, safe, and convenient. Here you’ll find quick tips on important documents, transportation, spare parts, and managing your device while on the move.
Important Documents for Traveling with CPAP
Always be prepared by keeping all therapy information handy: your treatment pressure, mask size, a doctor’s certificate, and contacts for your healthcare provider at your destination. If possible, also store them digitally for extra security in case of emergencies.
Check Power Supply — Using CPAP Safely Away from Home
Before traveling, check the voltage at your destination and, if needed, bring an international adapter such as the Skross Travel Adapter Pro. Important: your CPAP must be carried as medical hand luggage and declared before check-in.
Spare Parts — Ensuring Hassle-Free CPAP Use
Remember to pack a spare mask, cleaning supplies, and other replacement parts. Accessories like tubing, nasal cushions, and filters are very useful while traveling and ensure your CPAP remains hygienic and fully functional.
No Humidifier During Travel — Avoid Leaks
Avoid using your CPAP’s standard humidifier while traveling: pressure changes can cause leaks or damage. Important: always empty the humidifier before travel, or use water-free systems like HumidX.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which oxygen devices are allowed on planes?
Only FAA-approved portable oxygen concentrators may be used on board. Check in advance if your device is certified: usually, there is a specific label or technical specification indicating approval. Many airlines also require advance registration and confirmation of sufficient battery capacity (at least 150% of flight time).
Do I need to inform the airline I’ll be using it?
Yes, contact the airline ideally 2–4 weeks before departure so there is enough time to verify permissions, fill out any required MEDIF form, and obtain written authorization if needed. You can also ask if power outlets are available on board.
How long does my oxygen device battery last during a flight?
Battery life depends on the model and flow setting. For flights, you usually need at least 150% of travel time in battery capacity, as required by many airlines. Always carry spare batteries in your hand luggage; they cannot be stored in the hold.
What safety measures should I follow in a car?
Ensure the device is stable and well protected from shocks, preferably inside a carrying bag. Avoid high temperatures: do not leave it in a hot trunk. Place it in a shaded and well-ventilated area inside the vehicle instead.
Which spare batteries or accessories should I bring?
Bring spare batteries, an international travel adapter, a 12V cable for car or RV, and spare masks or tubing. This prepares you for power outages, delays, or technical issues, especially on long or multi-leg trips.
Can I use my CPAP on a plane?
Yes, many airlines allow the use of an FAA-approved CPAP. Notify the airline 2–4 weeks in advance and bring a medical certificate, along with any required MEDIF form. Often, an external battery is necessary since not all seats have power outlets.
How should I best transport my CPAP?
Use a padded bag and always carry it as hand luggage to protect it from shocks, loss, or temperature fluctuations. Remember to bring a compatible power adapter for your destination.
How can I clean my CPAP while traveling?
Use special wipes or wash the mask and tubing with warm water and mild detergent. Ensure everything is completely dry before use.
Which adapters or power supplies do I need for international travel?
Many CPAPs operate on 100–240 V and can be used anywhere. Often, a plug adapter is sufficient; older models may require a voltage converter. A travel battery is also a useful backup.
What if my CPAP stops working during travel?
Carry a list of emergency contacts and the manufacturer or supplier contact info. If possible, travel with a backup CPAP or extra battery. In case of total failure and significant symptoms, seek medical assistance immediately.
