How an Oxygen Concentrator can help with your Christmas travel

The Christmas period is a time for celebration, family gatherings, and travel. However, for those with respiratory conditions like COPD and asthma, travelling can be more difficult. Fortunately, a reconditioned portable oxygen concentrator from OnOxygen can make winter travel more comfortable and safe for those who need it.

For Christmas travel, a portable oxygen concentrator offers several advantages. They are lightweight enough to allow for use on journeys, whether these be via car, plane or train. Additionally, most concentrators can be plugged into car chargers or operate on battery power, providing flexibility and independence during long road trips or while visiting remote locations.

There are several suitable reconditioned oxygen concentrators available from On Oxygen, all of which are FAA-approved for commercial air travel:

• Reconditioned Sequal Eclipse 5 – A cost-effective portable constant flow oxygen concentrator with high levels of pulse mode greater than 6lpm.

• Reconditioned SimplyGo Mini – A reliable portable oxygen concentrator from a well-known brand, which offers high levels of oxygen up to 5lpm pulse on demand.

• Reconditioned Inogen One G3 – A great value-for-money portable oxygen concentrator that can deliver up to 4lpm pulse on demand.

Once you know what type of oxygen concentrator you need, you can start planning your trip. Here are a few tips:

• Book your flight well in advance. This will give you time to let the airline know that you will be travelling with oxygen.

• Bring a copy of your doctor’s prescription for oxygen. This will help the airline understand your needs.

• Pack extra batteries for your oxygen concentrator.

Travelling with oxygen can be a challenge, but it is definitely possible. Following these tips can make your trip as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
