Forgot or lost your CPAP in Europe No Problem!

Forgot Your CPAP during Your European Adventure? No problem, by tomorrow everything can be fixed.

 

Traveling with sleep apnea requires careful planning, and a crucial part of that plan is ensuring your CPAP equipment is packed and ready. However, even the most organized travelers can experience mishaps. Forgetting your CPAP machine, mask, or charger can leave you feeling anxious and disrupt your sleep, impacting your overall health and enjoyment of your trip. But, hey, no need to fuss about it! There are various solutions available, no matter where your European adventure takes you.

Arrive in Europe then realize that you have forgotten your CPAP at home?

 

Arriving in Europe at the airport, realising you have lost or forgotten your CPAP device or mask

Realizing you’ve left your CPAP equipment at home after arriving at the airport can be a nightmare. But before you panic, you have these options:

 

  •  Airline Assistance: Some airlines may have a limited supply of CPAP machines onboard or offer rental options. It’s worth checking with the airline staff at the check-in counter or gate.

 

  •  Last-Minute Shopping at the Airport: If time allows, explore the airport shops. Some larger airports may have pharmacies or medical supply stores that sell or rent CPAP equipment.

 

You arrive at the hotel and realize you have lost or forgotten your CPAP equipment

 

Discovering you’ve forgotten your CPAP equipment after checking into your hotel can be very traumatic as well. But there are options:

 

Local Medical Supply Stores: Use online search engines or ask the hotel concierge for recommendations on nearby medical supply stores that offer CPAP equipment rentals or sales. The bad news is that you have to go to their physical location and look for what you need, hoping they have it. The other option is an online European CPAP store that sends sleep apnea equipment immediately and with a 1-day Express shipping, such as CPAPeuropa.com.

Airline lost my CPAP in Europe: What should I do?

Airline lost my CPAP in Europe: What should I do?

What should you do if your Airline lost your CPAP machine in Europe? 

Let us guess – you just flew into Europe only to realize at the airport that the airline lost your baggage along with your CPAP machine? You shouldn’t be surprised — that happens a lot! Whether you’re a tourist or on a business trip to good old Europe, you can find yourself without your CPAP equipment faster than you can say Apnea! And, you may be able to receive a small compensation for that too — months or even years later — but that won’t solve your current problem, or answer that ‘Where is my CPAP?’ question you have for the airline. In this article will answer that question and what you should do if you are currently in Europe without your CPAP equipment!

Should you find yourself at a European airport without your stationary or mobile CPAP machine at hand, don’t worry — you can get a replacement, and fast! No need to order a brand new one from distant home in the US for example as it will take a long time for it to arrive before you can even use it.

According to the US Bureau of Transportation, more than 2 million passengers fly every day. Among this number are passengers with CPAP machines travelling to Europe.

CPAPeuropa’s advice on safe travelling with your Sleep Apnea equipment at hand

Before even purchasing your ticket to Europe, read the CPAP policy of the specific airline you’d like to fly to Europe with! Different airlines have different rules about bringing your respiratory (including CPAP) equipment on board!

Most airlines have their own policies for traveling with a CPAP machine (often classified as assisted or medical device). Make sure to contact the specific airline at least two weeks prior before flying with your CPAP machine to Europe.  Tell them you’ll be bringing a Sleep Apnea machine and may even need to use it in-flight (especially for cross-Atlantic flights and flights from Africa, Asia or South America).

IMPORTANT: Policies vary between different airlines. Visit the airline carrier’s website and read their online policy regarding respiratory equipment and CPAP machines to learn more.
