I knew I had seen this posted before and have found it. Unfortunately it looks like they have stopped providing it on short haul flights. Link here:

Thanks for the reply. Not sure if you can pay for oxygen on short haul flights or they have stopped supplying it completely. I normally use TUI as its free on their flights but they are not going to Gibraltar.

Best to give them a ring and enquire, be quick, if they don't supply, it will leave you time to make alternative arrangements. You might even have to hire a portable oxygen concentrator.

Thanks for reply. Not that silly wouldn't book anything until oxygen is in place.

from the BA website:

"Short haul flights departing on or after 1 February 2018:

British Airways will no longer be able to provide therapeutic oxygen on short-haul flights for flights departing on or after 1 February 2018. This also includes short haul segments connecting to and from long haul flights.

Customers requiring therapeutic oxygen on short haul flights will be required to make their own provisions for all short haul segments of their itinerary. Acceptable therapeutic oxygen provisions are outlined below. Customers need to obtain medical clearance for approval of their own therapeutic oxygen provisions. Medical forms should be despatched to the medical clearance team a minimum of 7 days prior to departure."

Not what you're looking for?
