hi I have a question. My son has booked a holiday to Spain and requested airline to book my in flight oxygen. They told him they do it! They did until November 2023. Not now though! Apparently I have to arrange my own!! Help who do I go to?? I have not got a clue 😢😢

Try asking the airline who you should approach. If they have just changed the rules, they should have contingency plans for this.

Thank you. They gave us link to speak with. Federal Aviation Administration. I’m going to Spain with TUI so far even their assistance team have been useless. No one seems to know exactly what new regs allows?

Absolutely unbelievable

But thank you all for your responses. My negativity is being impacted by Christmas break period where I am unable to pursue information relative to my plight and choices of sorting this 😢😢

Enjoy Christmas when it comes!

I'd ring the airlines "special assistance" for Dvice

A Portable Oxygen Generator (POC) (with sufficient battery power) should do the trick. They can be hired through your usual oxygen supplier but not for free. (NHS POCs can't be taken abroad). I bought one some years ago and it has worked well on short haul flights. You should check with TUI that it is acceptable - they are approved by the Federal Aviation Administration. The alternative is to buy one which, although expensive, may be worthwhile for a frequent traveller. Good luck.
