Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC)

* Allegiant is not equipped to transport or provide medical oxygen or other hazardous materials and/or contained gas either in the passenger cabin or as cargo or baggage. Any customer requiring a constant supply of compressed or liquid medical oxygen cannot travel on Allegiant. If there is a question as to a customer's ability to travel the duration of a flight without the use of medical oxygen, Allegiant requires the user to have a written statement from a licensed physician to verify the customer can complete the flight safely and without the use of medical oxygen. Click here to get the Physician Consent Form template. The Physician Consent Form will only be accepted if printed on the physician's letterhead and fully completed. Liquid oxygen cannot be carried onboard any Allegiant aircraft. All units identified as Portable Oxygen Concentrators are acceptable as checked or carry-on baggage if the units fit the size limitations for under the seat or overhead stowage.

The POC may only be used in its battery-operated mode. Allegiant does not have electrical outlets onboard for commercial product use.
* 2. During movement of the aircraft on the surface, takeoff, and landing, the portable oxygen concentrator must:
o a. Be stowed under the seat in front of the user so that it does not block the aisle or the entry into the row (window seat only);
o b. If it is to be operated by the user, be used only at a seat location that does not restrict any passenger's access to, or use of, any required emergency or regular exit, or the aisle(s) in the passenger compartment;
o c. Persons using a portable oxygen concentrator are not permitted to sit in an exit row or bulkhead; and
o d. When the "Fasten Seat Belt" sign is turned off, passengers operating their portable oxygen concentrator may continue to operate it while moving about the cabin.
* 3. The user of the portable oxygen concentrator must comply with the following conditions to use the device onboard the aircraft:
o a. The user must be capable of hearing the unit's alarms, seeing the alarm light indicators, and have the ability to take the appropriate action in response to the various caution and warning alarms and alarm light indicators, or be traveling with someone who is capable of performing those functions;
o b. The user must ensure the portable oxygen concentrator is free of oil, grease or other petroleum products, is in good condition, and free from damage or other signs of excessive wear or abuse;
o c. The user must inform Allegiant that he or she intends to use a portable oxygen concentrator onboard the aircraft. The user must have a written statement, signed by a licensed physician, in that person's possession, and must allow Company personnel to review the contents of the physician's statement which must:
1. state whether the user of the device has the physical and cognitive ability to see, hear and understand the device's aural and visual cautions and warnings and is able, without assistance, to take the appropriate action in response to those cautions and warnings;
2. state whether or not oxygen use is medically necessary for all or a portion of the duration of the trip; and
3. specify the maximum oxygen flow rate corresponding to the pressure in the cabin of the aircraft under normal operating conditions.
o Only lotions or salves that are oxygen approved may be used by persons using the portable oxygen concentrator device.
o The user must carry on the flight a sufficient number of batteries to power the device for the duration of the oxygen use specified in the physician's statement, including a conservative estimate of any unanticipated delays;
o The user must ensure that all batteries carried onboard the aircraft in carry-on baggage are protected from short circuit and are packaged in a manner that protects them from physical damage; and
o When a battery-powered portable oxygen concentrator is carried onboard the aircraft as carry-on baggage and is not intended to be used during the flight, the battery must be removed and packaged separately unless the Concentrator contains at least two effective features to prevent accidental operation during transport.
