Portable Compressed Oxygen Cylinders in Majorca

Good morning,

I suffer with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and use small portable oxygen cylinders when walking upstairs or for walking around a bit outside. I need constant flow as I cannot breath well through my nose. So a portable concentrator doesn’t really help me on exertion as it’s only activated as you probably know, when taking a breath through the nose. My problem is, I’m supposed to be travelling with Ryanair in September and unlike EasyJet (who allow you to take two cylinders on board) they don’t allow any. Only concentrators. I have been in touch with Linde who others have said supply cylinders but they also said they only supply concentrators. Can anyone please give me any advice on how I can get portable cylinders once in Majorca. Any help would be much appreciate. Regards, Bob

I'm sorry I can't help with your query, but I suggest you phone the A&L UK helpline - 0300 555 2800. I would hope that they'd have the answer for you or be able to put you in touch with someone who could help. Best of luck, Jan
