Am I allowed to bring a CPAP Machine on board in my carry on?
Will I have access to 110V power at my seat?
How would I obtain distilled water on board for my CPAP?
BenA's answer is definitive.
Your question about distilled water tells me the OP is not using a travel CPAP. While not as nice as cpap's for home use, a travel CPAP like the HDM Z1 get the job done and allow me to go anywhere with only carry on. Haven't checked anything in years, and I am talking about international travel of three weeks or more.
It is risky to presume anything about anyone's need to use a CPAP on board an aircraft. I only use a travel model in a hotel room. For me, it would be a royal pain in the butt to use one in-flight, and I think I do OK in an elevated position. AIr France's recliners on their A380's are great for me, or I just elevate a full-flat seat a little. Seems to help..
The CPAP's that use water, like the home models, don't have to have water. In a pinch, one can use tap water or none at all. Worst case, one wakes up with a dry throat and month, which is typical for waterless travel models.
