Here are a couple of steps you must take before starting your next trip:
- Contact your local Center to notify them of your travel.
- Provide as much notice as possible (two weeks minimum)
- Provide the dates range of trip
- Specify the equipment needed (Concentrator, Tanks, Cart)
- Form of travel (Car, plane, cruise, train, or other means)
- Full destination address, including hotel or resort name
- Obtain a copy of your prescription from your local Center or your prescribing physician to carry with you throughout your travels.
- Check with your physician. If you are going to an area with a vastly different altitude, your prescription may need to be adjusted for this change.
- Read and understand the safety precautions required for traveling and moving oxygen equipment.
