Travel with a lung condition
Any lung condition can be a very serious diagnosis in connection with flying. Despite the fact that an aircraft has a pressurized cabin, the oxygen pressure in the lungs is significantly reduced during flight, which is why guests with COPD may need extra oxygen. This can also occur even if you have never had the need before.
Before your travel
If you have a lung condition, regardless of its stage, it requires Jettime's approval to fly with us. Please contact Jettime's Customer Service so we can assist with what information we need in your case to approve your travel.
In most cases, you will be asked to submit a Medical Information Form (MEDIF), which must be completed, signed and stamped by your doctor or pulmonary specialist.
Immediately after receiving the completed MEDIF, you will usually receive either approval from us or notice of any reservations. If your doctor believes that you may need oxygen on board, you must bring this for both outbound and homebound flights. Jettime recommends that you use an oxygen concentrator.
