Cruisin Sal Posted October 22, 2006 #1 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Last month my husband and I took the Sea Princess from Southampton to Quebec - 16 days. My husband has recently gone on oxygen 24/7. We took an Alaska cruise from SF in May. This didn't involve flying so obtaining oxygen was not a problem. Since the airlines don't allow your own O2 tanks in the cabin he had to rent an Inogen concentrator to use getting to the plane and on shore excursions. In addition he had to rent a concentrator for cabin use and the airline's O2 during flights. It was very expensive!!! Has anyone had experience with flying into one port and out from a different port? Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruznliz Posted October 22, 2006 #2 Share Posted October 22, 2006 You might try posting this question on the "Disabled" board. Most of the discussion is on wheeelchair access, but someone must know something about oxygen. Good luck! http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=100&f=190 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that you already took the trip....so, YOU would now have experience flying into one port & out from another...wouldn't you? What am I missing?

Toto2Kansas Posted October 23, 2006 #4 Share Posted October 23, 2006 If I am not mistaken, the OP is asking anyone if they know of a less expensive way to travel with total oxygen use while flying and on the ship and excursions. It seems that the way she did it last time was very expensive and is looking for another way around this. I can only imagine how tough this would be to travel with a spouse on oxygen 24/7. Especially now with all the new rules in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr green Posted October 23, 2006 #5 Share Posted October 23, 2006 The same thing happend in Canada, about nine months ago, on a local flight. A lady was denied the use of her own oxygen, but it was supplied by Air Canada at a very high cost. Fire regulations was the official reason, however many people did not agree with that story line when the costing was anounced. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
