What to Do If You Need to Fly and Are on Supplemental Oxygen

Modern commercial air travel can be tough – and it can be tougher when you have medical needs like being on supplemental oxygen. If you’re on supplemental oxygen, you can still fly commercially.

However, it can be tough to manage luggage, connections, and other travel logistics when you are on oxygen. Air Ambulance Worldwide has a team of trained commercial medical escorts who can fly with you to help you with your medical needs. From supplemental oxygen, to help with diabetes medications, to other medical needs in-flight, commercial medical escorts enable people with medical needs to fly comfortably.

How does it work when you need help with supplemental oxygen while flying?

When you have a commercial medical escort, this person will travel with you. You can decide whether you’d like them to start by picking you up at home or at a medical facility, or if you want them to meet you at the airport.

From there, they will help with all aspects of travel logistics and coordination. From finding wheelchairs to get on or off the plane, monitoring oxygen flows, and managing oxygen requirements, they are there to help every step of the way. They can assist with finding gates, transporting and stowing luggage, and other needs to keep you comfortable.

How much does it cost to have a commercial medical escort to help with in-flight supplemental oxygen?

Every cost depends on the distance traveled and overall commercial flight prices. Commercial medical escorts are paid for their time to help, as well as having flight and other expenses covered. Travel dates and availability can also impact pricing.
