If you used an oxygen concentrator 10 years ago, you know what size and heavy they used to be. Thank goodness times have changed. Today's portable models are so small and light that now you can travel anywhere!

The Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA, has ruled that passengers who require oxygen must be permitted to bring FAA-approved portable oxygen concentrators on all U.S. aircraft with an increase of than 19 seats. Foreign airlines must also allow POC on all flights to and from U.S soil. Most portable oxygen concentrators are actually approved by the FAA, like the Inogen One, Inogen One G2, Respironics EverGo, SeQual Eclipse, DeVilbiss Igo and a few others.
Train travel
Amtrak also allows medically necessary oxygen equipment onboard. You merely need to give them 12 hours' advance notice and assure them you have the needed equipment, including adequate battery back-up. Call 1-800-USA-RAIL.
We recommend you reserve a Superliner Accessible Bedroom for your Amtrak trip. These are lower-level rooms with space for a wheelchair and two adults. Even though you avoid a wheelchair, you'll appreciate having the extra space for the oxygen equipment.
Car travel
Who doesn't love an old-fashioned road trip? The majority of today's portable concentrators have a DC power supply that plugs into your car's cigarette lighter outlet. This makes it easy to power and recharge your concentrator no matter just how long your drive.
