Personal O2 supply on commercial flight?
We have an elderly relative who wants to get from UK to Eire. His health dictates that he has to have an oxygen supply with him at all times. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to take such apparatus on a commercial flight?
Thanks in advance.

As stated by the poster above contact your airline! Let them know what type of canister you are carrying, I think some airlines may ask how big the canister is. As i think they can only carry a certain number per flight!

It is not always the case that you cant bring it on. I am an oops agent at MAN and one of our customer airlines will allow you to bring your own oxygen onboard provided certain criteria are met...
* Not continuous Oxygen.
* No more that 2 litres per hour
* Containers are less than 5 kilos each
and
* no more than 2 containers to be brought in the cabin
Barring any of the above however and they will supply Oxygen for you!
