blueblood Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Hey everyone -- I am just getting into a bad cycle, and unfortunately, have work travel to New Orleans from this Friday to next Thursday (Aug 9 - 16). Oxygen is my lifesaver, and I'm a little panicked trying to find an oxygen supply while I'm there. I'm hoping there is someone in the New Orleans area who could spare one M and one E tank for a week? Happy to pay, and I have my own regulator/masks/etc. I really just need an M tank for my hotel room and an E tank for on the go (so I have some nearby meetings if I start to get shadows). I don't want to put anyone out of oxygen that they need, but if someone has a spare I'd be eternally grateful. Thanks for reading, I'm really sort of desperate at this point.

Freud Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 There have been several people that traveled for work and got hotel deliveries. Hopefully some one will have info for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I am a patient with a different company (who doesn't have any NO subsidiary locations). Anyone know if you can just check O2 tanks into checked baggage? Kind of a pain in the ass, but without other options I could do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely not...they will laugh in your face (been there) ...it's a significant safety issue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHfather Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 If all this sensible advice doesn't work, maybe you could go for some welding tanks. If you have a friend there, s/he could pick it up for you, or maybe you could find/make the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
