As more flights are available again and Covid testing is less prohibitive, more and more people are looking to travel beyond the UK shores this spring and summer.  If you have a respiratory disease or problems with breathing due to COPD, emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis or Long Covid you may need to use a portable oxygen concentrator.  Pure O2 is dedicated to providing portable oxygen to enable patients to travel.  After the last couple of years, travel to the other side of the UK may seem like a major trip out.  However, did you know that Pure O2 can also help to arrange oxygen for your travel abroad? Our service gives you peace of mind, so you can enjoy your holiday.

Can I take oxygen on a cruise or on an aeroplane when I travel?

Many of the portable oxygen concentrators that we stock for rental and purchase are approved for use on airlines and cruise operators. However we do have a published list of recommended airlines which you may wish to check before booking your flight.  The friendly team of staff at Pure O2 have experience in helping communicate with these airlines and operators, to ensure that you can use your oxygen whilst travelling. This can make a big difference to your travel experience, as we read below in one of our testimonials:

… ‘Thank you’ for all your help with organising a concentrator for my mum. … things were very last minute with the airline (Air Mauritius). Having the concentrator really helped my mum as she has found her confidence to travel again…

UK travel with oxygen

You may not be aware, but not all our patients are travelling from the UK.  We regularly hire out our portable oxygen concentrators to those visiting the UK, like this example below:

“Appreciation to All at Pure 02 – Rented an Air-Sep Freestyle for my UK holiday – excellent service from Pure O² from start to finish – thanks for helping me make the most of my holiday.”
