american airlines & oxygen

[just1more]

Sonia, not a crazy question.

The basic principle is this:

Accomodations include such things as wheelchairs, help getting on-board, are required as ADA support and are thus free.

The use of the airline's O2 on-board is not considered an accomodation. If you use your own O2 concentrator there should not be a cost as they they are only 'accomdating' you, whereas if you use their O2 then this is not an accomdation, it is a service/product they are providing and they will charge as there is a cost in providing it.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks guys for all your replies. I phoned AA who advised me that the flight is actually on one of their Eagle planes and therefore does not offer an oxygen. However I can take my own concentrator. I am not on oxygen at home, and only need it for flying so purchasing a concentrator just to fly seems a little bit over the top.

I am from the UK & I am traveling British Airways for my transatlantic flight, using their service.

So I guess I will just have to go without, stay in my seat & concentrate on my breathing. I am seeing my doctors tomorrow, I am hoping they say the 50 min flight will be ok without oxygen as I now need them to provide a letter for AA to say I am fit to travel without oxygen.

Oh the joys of having cf.

Thanks.

You can check into renting a concentrator. That is what we are doing for our trip

I'm not sure how I would do with living in the uk & needing the oxygen between the 2 American cities only. Do you guys pick them up from the airport when you rent them, or are they delivered to you homes.

How much does it cost to rent.

Soz for all the questions.

Thanks
