Delta oxygen rules at a glance
Based on Delta Air Lines’s published policy, reviewed October 2026.
NoticeRequest approval at least 48 hours before a domestic flight, or 72 hours before an international one.
PaperworkDelta asks for a Physician’s Statement, which is submitted to its oxygen partner, OxygenToGo, for review.
BatteriesCarry enough batteries for 150% of your gate-to-gate time. Delta doesn’t provide onboard power for medical devices.
SeatingTravelers using a POC can’t sit in an exit row or bulkhead seat.
PackingPack spare batteries so the terminals are protected from short circuits.
FeesYour concentrator doesn’t count toward your carry-on limit.
Delta doesn’t allow you to bring your own oxygen tanks — an FAA-approved portable concentrator is the way to fly. Policies can change, so always confirm with Delta Air Lines before you fly. See Delta’s policy →
