Traveling with a breathing apparatus, in Varadero or elsewhere
What are the “rules” for traveling with a breathing apparatus?
This is not the case for the majority of travelers to Varadero, but I have seen the question asked on a few occasions.
The PaxNouvelles website published a very interesting article (October 11, 2018) on this subject.
Here are some excerpts:
“The Government of Canada, through its Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA), has issued a list of very practical recommendations to keep on hand.
· How to pack a breathing apparatus before going through security?
· How to maintain the cleanliness of a respirator and its accessories during the security check?
· How to travel with distilled water for breathing apparatus?!”
“First of all, you should know that the limit of two pieces of cabin baggage does not apply to medical supplies and equipment.
In addition, if your customers are traveling with any type of medical device, they are required to inform the agent upon arrival at the control area and have the supporting medical documents on hand. For this purpose, CPAP and BiPAP breathing devices are allowed in cabin baggage.”
