How to plan your air travel
- Speak to your doctor to check your oxygen requirements.
- If your doctor recommends that you fly with additional oxygen, check your chosen airline’s oxygen policy.
- Allow plenty of time to book your flight, as completing each step may take longer than you expect.
Are you fit to fly?
The fit to fly test or the hypoxic challenge will show if you need additional oxygen when you fly.
If you do need additional oxygen to fly, then the airline will ask you for a medical certificate.
We have information about both of these important pre-flight tasks.
