Please check with each airlines' own web site, as well as their medical oxygen desk, for up-to-date information on the airlines' specific oxygen passenger requirements.

Please also continue to review this site, as we have been informed that additional airline carriers will be following suit with the allowance of FreeStyle in the coming weeks, based on their own approval and training schedules, etc.

Individual air carriers approving FreeStyle will determine applicable power sources allowed for their aircraft. AirSep recommends that an oxygen patient traveling via air always provide as much notice on flight schedules to the selected airline(s) as possible, and that enough battery power, etc., to ensure an adequate supply for the duration of the flight(s), including scheduled layovers and unplanned delays are accounted for by the traveler.
