However, with OxyGo portable oxygen concentrators (POCs), flying is no longer a daunting experience. OxyGo POCs are designed with the highest safety standards, ensuring they are not only safe to use on airplanes but also incredibly beneficial for travelers. Here’s how OxyGo makes flying a breeze and the essential safety features that set it apart.   ## **FAA Approval for Peace of Mind** OxyGo POCs are approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for use on all commercial flights. This certification means that OxyGo meets stringent safety standards and can be relied upon during air travel. Having an FAA-approved POC provides peace of mind, allowing users to focus on their journey rather than worrying about their oxygen needs.      ## **Key Safety Features of OxyGo POCs** - **Battery Life and Backup Options**: OxyGo POCs come with long-lasting battery options, ensuring continuous oxygen supply throughout your flight. Additionally, travelers can carry extra batteries to extend usage, providing an uninterrupted oxygen flow even on long-haul flights. - **Durable and Lightweight Design**: Designed for portability, OxyGo POCs are lightweight and compact, making them easy to carry and maneuver through busy airports. Despite their small size, they are built to withstand the rigors of travel, ensuring durability and reliability. - **Quiet Operation**: One of the standout features of OxyGo POCs is their near-silent operation. This ensures a peaceful and comfortable experience for both the user and fellow passengers, avoiding the disruptive noise that traditional oxygen equipment can cause. - **Simple and Intuitive Controls**: OxyGo POCs feature user-friendly controls, making them easy to operate, even in the hustle and bustle of travel. Clear displays and straightforward buttons ensure that users can adjust their oxygen flow settings with ease. - **Comprehensive Safety Alarms**: Safety is paramount, and OxyGo POCs come equipped with multiple alarms to alert users to any issues, such as low battery, low oxygen levels, or device malfunction. These alarms provide an extra layer of security, ensuring that any potential problems can be addressed promptly.   ## **Benefits of Taking OxyGo POCs on Airlines** - **Freedom and Independence**: Being able to take OxyGo POCs on flights means users can travel independently without needing to rely on airline-provided oxygen, which often requires advance notice and additional costs. - **Comfort and Convenience**: With OxyGo, users have a consistent and familiar oxygen source throughout their journey. This eliminates the stress of transitioning between different oxygen supplies and allows for a more comfortable travel experience. - **Enhanced Travel Opportunities**: OxyGo POCs open up a world of travel possibilities, enabling users to explore new destinations and visit loved ones without the constraints imposed by traditional oxygen solutions. This freedom can significantly improve quality of life and well-being. ## **Preparing for Air Travel with OxyGo** Before flying, it's essential to: - **Check Airline Policies**: While OxyGo POCs are FAA-approved, individual airlines may have specific policies regarding their use. Contact the airline in advance to confirm requirements and procedures. - **Charge and Pack Extra Batteries**: Ensure your POC is fully charged and carry extra batteries to cover the entire duration of your flight and any potential delays. - **Carry Necessary Documentation**: Have your FAA approval letter and any medical documentation handy in case you need to present them at check-in or security.   With OxyGo POCs, air travel is no longer a barrier for those needing supplemental oxygen. The combination of advanced safety features, ease of use, and the freedom to travel without limitations makes OxyGo an ideal companion for any journey. Enjoy the skies with confidence and comfort, knowing OxyGo has your oxygen needs covered. - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [OxyGo](https://blog.oxygo.life/tag/oxygo) / [POC](https://blog.oxygo.life/tag/poc) / [Travel](https://blog.oxygo.life/tag/travel) / [Airplane Safe](https://blog.oxygo.life/tag/airplane-safe) [Previous Post](https://blog.oxygo.life/increase-nasal-cannula-comfort) [Next Post](https://blog.oxygo.life/embrace-freedom-with-oxygo) ### LATEST NEWS ![](https://blog.oxygo.life/hs-fs/hubfs/How%20to%20Get%20Started%20with%20Medical%20Oxygen%20Your%20Guide%20to%20OxyGo%20Products%20V2.png?width=767&name=How%20to%20Get%20Started%20with%20Medical%20Oxygen%20Your%20Guide%20to%20OxyGo%20Products%20V2.png) [How to Get Started with Medical Oxygen: Your Guide to OxyGo Products](https://blog.oxygo.life/get-started-with-medical-oxygen) ![An older couple walking at night through a snow covered lit up city.](https://blog.oxygo.life/hs-fs/hubfs/COPD%20in%20the%20cold%20(2).png?width=767&name=COPD%20in%20the%20cold%20(2).png) [Managing COPD Symptoms in Colder Weather](https://blog.oxygo.life/managing-copd-symptoms-in-colder-weather) ![A model heart in a doctors hands](https://blog.oxygo.life/hs-fs/hubfs/copd%20and%20its%20impact%20on%20cardiovascular%20system.png?width=767&name=copd%20and%20its%20impact%20on%20cardiovascular%20system.png) [Understanding COPD and Its Impact on the Cardiovascular System](https://blog.oxygo.life/understanding-copd-and-its-impact-on-the-cardiovascular-system) ### Categories -

I used tanks for almost a year before finding out about OxyGo. The tanks were a lot of work and I often found them exhausting to use and set up … OxyGo gave me my life back. Now I want to go places. I can take OxyGo to the pool, beach, grocery store, shopping. I am often gone 8-10 hours a day." ~ Cathy W. | Sandusky, OH "OxyGo has given my mom her life back and mine too. Freedom to be the type of person she was before. The extra double battery is even more amazing. Before OxyGo she could not go to Columbus, two hours away to see my sister. Now she can see her grandkids—It’s a product that has definitely made her life a lot happier." ~ Angela W. | Sandusky, OH "I have patients coming in to switch out for the OxyGo POC because of its battery life. And they love and feel safer with the OxyGo POC because it shows exactly how much time is left to the minute rather than showing remaining time in percentages, which is what units competitive to OxyGo POCs do. Expressing remaining oxygen supply in exact minutes left is a big comfort advantage OxyGo has with patients." ~ Ruben L. | Wickenburg, AZ "My life with OxyGo is really 103% better than it ever was with a medical oxygen tank!" ~ Rodger R. | Colorado Springs, CO "When I found out that I needed oxygen, I thought many activities were lost to me. OxyGo has restored my confidence in getting where I want to be, and my enjoyment in doing what I love." ~ Karen A. | Cleveland, OH [Share Your Story!](https://oxygo.life/contact-us/) - [Home](https://oxygo.life/) - [Get OxyGo](https://oxygo.life/oxygo-family/get-oxygo-today/) - [Privacy](https://oxygo.life/privacy-policy/) [866-234-1692](tel:866-234-1692) [![Facebook](https://blog.oxygo.life/hubfs/OxyGo_January2020%20Theme/Images/facebook.png)](https://www.facebook.com/OxyGo.life/) [![Youtube](https://blog.oxygo.life/hubfs/OxyGo_January2020%20Theme/Images/youtube.png)](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDDhnuSdGMW0S39K1Lu_BPA) [![Instagram](https://blog.oxygo.life/hubfs/OxyGo_January2020%20Theme/Images/instagram.png)](https://www.instagram.com/oxygopoc/) ![Keep Going](https://blog.oxygo.life/hubfs/OxyGo_January2020%20Theme/Images/keep-going.png) © 2022 OxyGo HQ Florida, LLC.
