[[B]QUOTE=dreamy624;11670892]Has anyone flown on JetBlue using one of these devices for oxygen? JetBlues website states no oxygen is allowed on board. When I called, they said a concentrator is allowed. just curious to know if anyone has done this before. thx. and sorry if this is the wrong place to put my question.[/QUOTE]

Most airlines now allow the use of POC's (Portable Oxygen Canisters) in lieu of compressed oxygen. This is from the JetBlue website giving you a little bit more information.
As a customer, POC's can be rented or purchased (not from the airline) prior to your trip. Hope this info helps!

From JetBlue website-

Portable Oxygen Concentrator (POC)
An oxygen concentrator is a machine that takes normal room air and, using a series of sieves, filters, and a compressor, removes nitrogen from the air, increasing the oxygen content of the resulting air to up to 96%.

Note: An oxygen concentrator is not to be confused with compressed oxygen which is prohibited on any JetBlue aircraft.


All of the following requirements must be met to travel with a POC on a JetBlue flight:
The customer must contact JetBlue Reservations and advise of the intended use of the POC and model type.
Customers must travel with an approved model of POC.
The POC must have a label attached indicating that it has been approved for use on aircraft.
The POC is used in its battery-operated mode during the flight. (JetBlue Airways does not have electrical outlets onboard for commercial product use.)
The customer must have a sufficient number of fully-charged batteries to cover the duration of the flight and anticipated delays.
Extra batteries must be packed for carryon in a manner to prevent a short circuit. (Battery terminals must either be recessed or packaged so as to prevent contact with metal objects, including terminals of other batteries.)
The customer must have a letter from his/her physician on letterhead with an issue-date of no more than one year prior to flight departure date. The letter from the doctor is a requirement of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations. The letter must include the following information:
Whether the user is able to operate the device, recognize and respond appropriately to its alarms; and if not, that the user is traveling with a companion who is able to perform these functions.
The phases of the flight (taxi, takeoff, cruise, landing) during which use of the device is medically necessary.
The maximum flow rate corresponding to the pressure in the cabin under normal operating conditions. (Cabins are pressurized to an altitude of 8,000 feet.)
Please note: Generic forms printed from the FAA website, or elsewhere, will NOT be accepted as valid documentation for bringing a POC. The letter must be written on a physician's letterhead. Customers may wish to contact the manufacturer of their POC if their physician is not familiar with the POC and is having problems providing the FAA-required letter.
The customer must check-in with a JetBlue Airways Crewmember at the airport on the day of departure for a boarding pass no later than one hour from departure and must present the POC and paperwork for inspection by a JetBlue Crewmember.

Instructions for Onboard POC use
In accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Safety Regulations, the customer using an approved POC must be seated in a seat closest to the window.
Approved POCs that will be used during any phase of flight must be stowed completely underneath the seat in front of the customer using the POC. As a result, the customer may not be seated in a bulkhead seat.
In accordance to FAA Safety Regulations, a customer using a POC may not occupy an emergency exit seat.
