| Most oxygen-dependent patients will agree that traveling with medicinal oxygen is difficult. Probably to the extent that many prefer to stay at home rather than go because of the hassle of organizing everything, not to mention the stress and anxiety during the trip. To help patients realize their travel dreams, even outside their home country, we have created OXYTRAVEL® in co-operation with our partner International SOS.
OXYTRAVEL® takes care of all medicinal oxygen needs throughout a patient’s journey, freeing patients of the need to organize an international trip by themselves. In co-operation with the medical service specialist, International SOS, we can offer a 24 hour line, ready to respond to patients’ requests at any time, 7 days a week.
For more information, please call our service line (24/7) |

Tips and advice for patients travelling with medicinal oxygen
- A lot of patients do not dare to travel, even though they are physically able to do so. If your physician allows you to travel, you shouldn’t stop yourself.
- On a plane, some patients who are normally not dependent on medicinal oxygen might have problems, as the pressure might be changing. Please consult your physician before a trip to administer an “altitude test“ to see how you react under those circumstances.
- Most airlines do not allow you to bring your own oxygen devices on board. Please contact the airline before flying, as the regulations change. The British Lung Foundation lists the policies of the different airlines:www.lunguk.org
