Supplemental Medical Oxygen
Alaska Airlines will provide supplemental medical oxygen on our domestic and international flights with at least two (2) business days' advance notice. A nominal fee is charged for this service, with the amount dependent upon the length of your journey. Fees will be collected via credit/debit card only at the time your request is made through our reservations department at 1-800-ALASKAAIR.
Oxygen fees are shown below, based on mileage traveled:
A travel clearance form (issued by our medical screening firm MedAire) is required at check-in, and must be signed by your physician prior to travel.This travel clearance form must verify the need for medical oxygen as well as the rate of flow required per minute, and must remain with you in the aircraft cabin as you travel.
The 2-day advance notice provides the time required to verify the need for and amount of oxygen with the physician and ship the medical oxygen containers to your point of origin.
Alaska Airlines does not provide oxygen for use at ground locations. Travelers need to make further arrangements if medical oxygen is required at departure, connecting, or arrival cities.
For safety reasons, airline staff cannot use the aircraft's emergency oxygen during the flight.

For service on any codeshare or subcontractor flights, please contact the operating carrier directly. While Horizon Air accepts certain specific Portable Oxygen Concentrators, medical oxygen services are not offered on any Horizon Air flights.
