Last week i had a fit-to-fly' test which simulates flying conditions to see whether or not supplemental oxygen will be needed, i passed the test with a Blood/oxygen average level of 88 while on the test with a mask on for 15 minutes, at normal sea level at rest i am at 92-93. i was so pleased to hear this , i am away next week on a 1.5 hour flight, thought i would just let people know about this test and of course my result

Congrats on that great outcome and thanks for sharing this experience with us. I've turned down family events that were at high altitudes because I just didn't know if I could handle the flight then the accommodations.
