Likewise, my understanding is that the CPAP doesn't count towards your carry-on, but the case I got anyways is the size of a small laptop bag. Can I put that and my roll aboard up above, or am I still expected to fit my laptop bag and the cpap under my seat? Any strategies or tips about carrying the CPAP?
For USA flights, I’ve found some TSA locations need it out of the case, others it doesn’t matter. Just look at the signs.

I wouldn’t put it on the floor, personally. Easier to get stepped on or damaged. Always in the bin.
