Based on JetBlue’s published policy, reviewed October 2026.

PaperworkComplete JetBlue’s Physician’s Consent Form and keep it with you — crew may ask to see it.

Doctor’s sign-offYour physician confirms your flow rate, which flight phases you’ll use the POC, and whether you can respond to its alarms (or need a companion who can).

BatteriesBring fully charged batteries for 150% of the scheduled flight and ground connection time, plus extra for delays.

PowerPower outlets aren’t available for POC use on JetBlue flights.

Health changesIf your health or oxygen needs change, get an updated form.

NoticeJetBlue’s form doesn’t list a deadline, but contacting JetBlue before you fly avoids surprises at the airport.

JetBlue 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 JetBlue before you fly. See JetBlue’s Physician’s Consent Form →
