Simbas my brother came out last year and he had to bring his machine with him, never had any problems, not sure if he packed in main luggage or hand luggage.

Simbas - my brother has brought one with him on holiday 3 times - no probs. He flew with Monarch. Think he puts in his hold baggage.

Simbas write to pegasus in English no response or little that makes sense

Use their on line communication in Turkish a reply within 24 hour back in English if you ask for a reply in English

Before you ask I don't write or speak Turkish it was a friend of a friend who did the translation for an insurance claim

Hi Simbas I flew with my machine and carried it as hand luggage with British Airways, no problems I did speak to BA before flying out, but they said i did not need to inform them. Gareth

What is a CPAP it might help to know what CPAP stands for so we can give better help. Who did you get your tickets through? Maybe they can help.

Just for you.

Simbas the only problem I can see bringing one over is if there are power cuts again!

Simbas,



Just a thought, wonder if you could rent one here? Do you want me to try to find out for you as going to Girne this morning and can ask at the medical shop, can also inquire up at Cyprus Life Hospital tomorrow.
