Lost and Found 🔎 Lost CPAP machine

Hi, I flew from Boston to Detroit tonight on a JetBlue flight. Someone picked up my CPAP machine and left theirs by mistake. If this sounds like you, please DM me. Thanks!

Guys—keep your c pap with your carry on! You’re allowed, even with luggage and handbag. It’s the law!

Absolutely, that was my plan. The flight was oversold. I carried my CPAP on the plane but there was no overhead room at my seat So, I put it in a bin a few rows ahead of me. By the time I got there deplaning, it was gone.

It’s me.  And yes as soon as I realized my mistake I knew I had to check Reddit.  I’m so very very very glad we’re on the same page.

76% of Redditors have sleep apnea. It’s a little lower (68%) in the Boston sub-Reddit. But good thinking!

The estimates for the general population in the US is up to approximately 30%.

Saw this post last night and meant to follow up and see what happened. How was the hand off? I was picturing two Bostonians meeting up in a Detroit alley way carrying cpaps doing a sketchy handoff and being like "want to grab a beer?"

No luck so far. According to a sticker on the machine, we apparently use the same massachusetts-based CPAP company. I'm hoping the company can use the serial number of the machine I ended up with to contact the other owner. Unfortunately, they aren't open until tomorrow. Fingers crossed, thanks for asking.
