Hi davis 06. I've been on a Bipap for almost a year and a half now. It really can be a lifesaver. It's no big deal to travel with as long as you make sure to bring your own extension cord. I've taken mine on a cruise and down to Florida and the Grand Canyon. I still haven't figured out a way to take it on long flights ie. to the Philippines 21-24 hours flying. I've talked to a couple of pilots and they have approached their maintainance depts to work on something for it. Just a little bit of info for you to file in your info container. Welcome to the club that no one wants to belong to.
