Deliver of Oxygen to my holiday accommodation

[lvd29]

HI Everyone,

Does anyone on here from the UK know of any company that will deliver an oxygen concentrator to your holiday destination? So far it looks like I will need to take one with me.

I was told it was easy you just contact the company and they do all for you unfortunately the company name I was given doesn't do international travel.

Any advice would be appreciated. I would be travelling to Geneva.

Hi lvd29, this company delivers abroad healthoxygen.com or here in Geneva itself cloudofgoods.com/lake-genev...

You can compare your needs and prices, don’t forget if you need oxygen for your flight to Geneva you will also need to hire oxygen for your flight using a Portable Oxygen Concentrator, with enough batteries to cover one and half times your journey, including getting to and waiting in the airport, you will need a fit to fly declaration letter from your Respiratory Specialist.

I hope I have been some help.

Ian.

I've had a look I think this is an American company that don't deliver to Europe. But thanks for the information.

Hi lvd29, sorry about the second link, but I know healthoxygen.com specialise in Holiday Oxygen and are based in Manchester according to the the phone number on their website, and this website lists phone numbers in Switzerland travelwithoxygen.com/oxygen... I hope they can help you.

sorry I can’t help you but if you are taking it with you make sure you contact the airline first because I saw someone being refused travel because of an Oxygen issue

I have added some pages below for you that may be helpful. As well as Pure O2 you could try the Oxygen Store- we are not affiliated with them, but they have a helpline you can call. You are also welcome to call our Health Care Advisors to talk this through if you wish.

As gardenalan mentions- check with your airline for their O2 policy as they often have their own requirements- they should have a dedicated webpage for the oxygen policy and contact details for any questions.

Take care

Thank you for the information. I am currently in correspondence with pure O2.

Hi, can I ask are you on long term oxygen e.g 16 hrs or more, or do you just use the portable concentrator ?

[lvd29 in reply to getiton]

I'm on oxygen 24/7. 5L when walking and 2L when resting.

[getiton]

Ah well I am on 16hrs at home with a static concentrator and I have a mobile concentrator for walking and exertion. I thought I would have to arrange the same set up to holiday abroad. I am glad you had a lovely time x

[lvd29 in reply to getiton]

We hired our equipment from Pure O2 in Manchester.

[getiton]

Sorry to be a pain, but did O2 arrange for the static concentrator to be supplied abroad?

[lvd29]

No they supplied a small one on a trolley that we had to carry on board the flight.
