Traveling with Home Oxygen

Traveling when receiving oxygen therapy may seem tedious, however it doesn’t have to be! We can provide you with assistance as you plan your trip and help set you up with the right equipment to make traveling with oxygen a breeze. We would love to help you with choosing your options for traveling, and we humbly request that you contact us as early as possible so that we have time to provide you with travel solutions! 

Travel by Air

The first step when planning a trip is to discuss your travel plans with your physician and your airline. It’s possible that your airline will require an endorsement from your physician before allowing you to fly. Each airline also has their own policies on portable oxygen therapy aboard aircraft so be sure to check each time you travel. 


Take a look at these guidelines for an example: 


  • Westjet Oxygen Guidelines
  • AirCanada Oxygen Guidelines


Travel by Car

If traveling by car, we recommend that you contact your auto insurance provider and inform them that you intend to carry portable oxygen in your vehicle. Ensure that the car is well ventilated by opening a window or setting your ventilation controls to take in outside air. Be sure to only travel with portable-sized oxygen cylinders or a portable oxygen concentrator and secure spare cylinders in the trunk of the vehicle. Always keep in mind to only travel with the minimum amount of portable oxygen needed and keep your in-use cylinder secured.
