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?
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.
THE EASIEST & EXPRESS SOLUTION
If you’re heading straight to a hotel, contact CPAPeuropa.com immediately and tell them that you need a new CPAP or a mask or battery at the same hotel with the option of delivery the next day. They will send it asap and make sure you get what you need on the next day. Just make sure to tell them that you need your product with a Next-Day Delivery to your hotel.
Lost at Sea
Forgetting to take your CPAP equipment on a cruise can be particularly daunting. But don’t worry, you’re not entirely out of luck:
Ship’s Medical Center: Most cruise ships have medical centers equipped to handle various medical needs. They may have CPAP machines available for rent or loan.

You CPAP equipment will be waiting for you at the next port! If you have internet access on the ship, contact CPAPeuropa.com to have your equipment shipped to the next port of call. Their express shipping service ensures you’ll receive your equipment quickly, minimizing any disruption to your therapy.

The Trekking or Cycling Predicament
Trekking or cycling in remote areas presents unique challenges when it comes to replacing forgotten CPAP equipment:
Pack Smart: If you’re planning a multi-day trek, consider carrying a backup CPAP mask or a portable CPAP battery like the Medistrom Pilot CPAP batteries for emergencies.
If you are using a portable CPAP device like the Resmed Airmini, make sure to have a power source for it, like a CPAP battery. Check this complete pack Airmini + Portable CPAP Battery here.

Most of our patients from the UK purchasing CPAP masks from our store already know the exact masks they should be using as they have undergone a titration study (or a sleep study in a clinic), where they have slept with a CPAP device set to a specific pressure level and with a specific type and size of mask according to preference and facial features.
