CPAP machine - Updated 250308

They are quite hungry on batteries and you can only take sealed gel batteries onboard. They are every nervous about having batteries onboad and you may come up against a barrier. Be persistant.
Also make sure the unit will run on 110v, if 240 only it will only work at half capacity.

I have spoken to Virgin this morning and they state there is definately no facility on board for a CPAP machine. I mentioned the laptop points and was told only laptops can be plugged in to these sockets. I pointed out a CPAP is just as important as a laptop but no joy.

Next thing is to try and get a battery operated CPAP from the hospital.

You can buy battery powered cpap machines online - in fact, there's one specifically approved by Virgin for inflight use. They cost about £250-£300.

Or you could just try not sleeping!
