Wow, ! That's a toughie. First of all if you fly I believe Delta's the only airline that'll allow a small concentrator on board .No liquid bottles.Once there have you soon be in touch with an oxygen supplyv co. Depending on your insurance Co. You may have to pay. Don't forget a plug European adapter. This way you can charge your small concentrator for your return trip or when you would need it. Maybe if this is too inconvenient you may inquire about a cruise ship. Good luck with your transplant and upcoming trip. Rest whenever possible, for breathing is always more difficult when fatigue and stress level is active. Hope you best of luck and an enjoyable trip as Well. If it was my son getting married I definitely would want to attend also

You must be young enough for a lung transplant. I hear it take some time for this to heal?
