Taking Different or More
Equipment on Holiday?
If you require different or additional oxygen
equipment for your holiday you will need to
contact your healthcare professional and ask
them to send a new HOOF. This should be
sent at least 3 working days before you plan
to travel.
Confirming Your Holiday
We will write to you to confirm your request for
your holiday supply. If you are travelling outside
of an Air Liquide region we will tell you who the
supplier will be.
If you have not received confirmation of your
holiday the day before you travel, you should
contact the regional supplier responsible for
delivering your holiday equipment. We will
send you a communication with the details of
your holiday provider.
