That's something you need to take up with your doctor and the airline. Airlines don't allow you to fly with your own oxygen and even if they do provide you with some for the flight, you need to provide your own when you land. I'd start asking questions now if that's your intention.

Thanks Mel
Adrian doesn't use oxygen right now but I don't know if he is going to need it when we are in the air.
Definately consult your pediatrician or better yet your pulmonologist. There is a high altitude simulation test that they can give to Adrian to see how he would handle flying. I've never had it done on Adam and have never flown with him. Honestly, from all I've heard it's just such a hassle to deal with renting equipment, calling airlines, etc. The last I heard, certain airlines do allow you to take your own oxygen but it has to be within federal guidelines and approved by the airline before taking it on. Not all airlines will allow this, though.
