Poc to buy or rent

I have been told I need 2 lires of oxygen per minute to fly can anyone help with my enquires

When you book your holiday the travel agent can arrange for the airline to supply oxygen for the flight (some charge for the oxygen). You will need a letter confirming you are 'fit to fly' which the airline will provide for your consultant's signature. Or you can rent a POC and arrange to use it on the flight.

The airline you fly with will supply You will need to fill in and have cleared their health form. I wonder what equipment you would use while in the country of your visit.

It depends on the airline... VirginAtlantic provide oxygen free of charge; some airlines charge - and some charge a lot. One or two only allow you to use your own concentrator.

Do you use ambulatory oxygen? If so, will you need a concentrator while you are away? It is possible to hire them - again, fees vary.

If you are going to go away often, it might be worth considering buying... Expensive, but could be the best option.
