M-Series Auto on plane and abroad?

[JackTheSnorer]

I'm going on holiday abroad for the first time in ages (due to snoring/cpap).

Will I get any trouble on the airplane aith this little black box with timer and buttons? I can see how they think it could be a bomb, with last week's terror and all.

Do I need any converters or plugs for Greece?

On most machines it says on the bottom, on a label "Medical Device". That should comfort them. It might be worth ringing the airline and mentioning it before hand, just to avoid any nasty surprises. Could also bring your prescription/sleep study results just in case.

According to this site http://www.powerstream.com/cv.htm they have a standard 2 pin plug system in Greece so yes, a standard 3 to 2 pin adaptor should suffice. Might want to bring a spare adaptor or fuse.

Which airline are you flying with?

BA have been very helpful, on a long haul flight they can put you at the front where the seats have a cigarette lighter like connection for medical equipment like CPAP. Just talk to them before you travel and make them aware of your special requirements.

I took my Resmed S6 to Germany a lot through 2006 and managed to get it listed as a piece of necessary medical equipment, so it traveled free and was looked after a bit better. I could have taken it on board as hand luggage but opted not too (especially as I need room for English goodies for my German friends..). The airlines seem very keen to help out, even EasyJet!!!
