What do you do when you need oxygen on vacation?

What do you do when you need oxygen on vacation?

  1. Hi rhealy6260 and thanks for your post. This is an excellent question. There are many options available for people who are already on supplemental oxygen therapy at home when they decide to travel for vacation or any other reason. I thought it might be both helpful and informative for you to start by looking over this article on that very subject: https://copd.net/living/on-oxygen-on-the-go-part-5-plane-train-bus-or-cruise/. If we can assist you (further) in any way, please reach out to me or any other moderator/team member. All the best, Leon (site moderator)

    1. Hi rhealy6260,
      Leon has given you some excellent information here. You can also call your oxygen provider as they can often help to resolve these issues.

      1. I talked to my oxygen provider and they told me they can deliver your oxygen to where it is your going to.

        1. Hi Debbey and thanks for your post here, as well. That is the way to go - most oxygen / durable medical equipment suppliers are able to make arrangements for you to travel with your oxygen. It always is a good idea to plan this ahead of time to make certain everything is in order for a smooth journey. Wishing you well, Leon (site moderator)

        2. Hi Debbey, I am happy that you found a solution to your problem. Like Leon says, as long as you plan ahead and stay on top of it, you seem to be all set.
