Kat, with a script, you can call the O2 company that supplies you and set up to have O2 at your destination. They may have to refer you to the 'right' company for your destination. But, with a script, it is possible to have that base covered.

This is what UptoDate, an online resource for doctors, says. You should read the whole article -- a lot of good info at the end: https://www.uptodate.com/contents/supplemental-oxygen-on-commercial-airlines-beyond-the-basics#:~:text=In general%2C airlines do not,rented through an oxygen supplier. "In general, airlines do not provide medical oxygen, but allow passengers to bring a battery-powered portable oxygen concentrator (POC) for use in flight. POCs that are approved by the Federal Aviation Association (FAA) can be purchased or rented through an oxygen supplier. Approved POCs will have a label indicating that they meet FAA regulations. Airlines may require notification of the need for in-flight oxygen at least 48 hours before the trip, making it necessary to undergo testing at least three days before travel." Here is a link to what TSA says, but it's really covered in the article: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/special-procedures

I swear, I don’t even know who to complain to anymore. My oxygen prescription was sent back to my doctors because they “don’t have the equipment”. Literally, wtf. I’ve been getting tanks there for 2 years now. I’m just about ready to pull my hair out.
