when I flew to Fla to visit my brother, i called the oxygen provider that I was using. They contacted a branch in the town where my brother lived. The local oxygen provider in Florida actually dropped off an oxygen concentrator for me to use while I was there. then they picked it up the day after I left. It was no extra cost since I was insured at home and they had a branch locally in florida.
I didn't have to carry one with me.

call your oxygen provider and see if they could do that.
If not, they should be able to provide you with a 'portable' concentrator for your trip.

good luck--post when you get your results (if you can)

My daughter would contact her O2 provider and they would set something up. It was very easy when we took her son to Sesame street place in PA the concentrator and her tanks were already at the hotel. Even when we would just be going for a weekend overnight trip her O2 supplier would deliver a concentrator to the hotel and in most cases the hotel would already have it set up in the room.
We always tried to make sure we gave the O2 carrier plenty of notice I think at least a couple of weeks from travel date. Happy traveling

I normally use a concentrator when I'm home, but insurance approved a portable concetrator when my family was planning a cruise. My doctor had to write a note about why I needed the portable but I think it went through without much problem. Anyway, it's been useful to have over the years. Def something to look into.

We also did what Tammy and musclemania did, we use Apria and we would just call the provider and they would set it up in the city we were going to and deliver it and then we'd call when we were done and theyd pick it up!
