Traveling With Portable Oxygen - Patient Education Guide

Each year, millions of travelers fly on commercial airlines in the United States and around the globe. As air travel has become more affordable, it has also become more accessible for people with serious medical conditions—including lung disease.

Oxygen Travel Fund

The Alpha-1 Association has an Oxygen Travel Fund that provides oxygen and equipment for Alphas in financial need to travel to their physicians, hospitals and to Alpha-1 educational events. To learn more about how to apply for support from this fund, please email chorsak@alpha1.org or call 1-877.346-3212. A minimum of 30 days notice is needed to arrange travel with supplemental oxygen utilizing this program. This fund was made possible by the generosity of CSL Behring and Talecris Biotherapeutics, Center for Science and Education.
