Another good thing to do is to contact your oxygen supply company and have them help with your arrangements. Airlines will not let you take a portable on board, but many of the larger oxygen suppliers have branches in big cities. They can be sure that you have O2 at the airport until you board your flight and that there is someone to meet you at your destination and set you up with equipment where you'll be staying. The airlines will let you use their O2 during flight, but I guarantee they will charge you dearly.

Some airlines will let you use a portable concentrator, there are 2 acceptable brands Problem is these cost $595 a week to rent I think American charges $700 to use theirs, per leg. One flight I wanted to do was 4 changes or $2800 Southwest allows a couple brands of concentrators at no extra charge
