I doubt that $125 came close to covering the cost of that service.
In 2010, I was doing the flight every 3 weeks. I have never had 2 tanks, always just one, usually with 16 hrs of oxygen. You can only sit in the window seat, so you don't disrupt anyone., When UA went to the lay flat business seats, the cannula was not long enough, so they sometimes let you sit in the B seat rather than the A seat.
