A portable oxygen bottle is highly recommended. Even at FL90, a flight of more than two hours is much more comfortable with oxygen and cannulas. At night, going on oxygen, even at FL50, is like switching on the lights on the ground. You can have your portable bottle refilled at a scuba station (be sure they do 100% oxygen) for the price of two beers.
