Travel oxygen

Jetstar does not provide travel oxygen. However, you can travel with your own oxygen cylinder or portable oxygen concentrator if required. Jetstar aircraft do not have power outlets available for oxygen or assistive devices. If you need to use oxygen during your flight, you'll need to make sure you have a battery-powered device. Travelling with a breathing support machine such as a CPAP or BiPAP? Please refer to our assistive devices page for information.

What you need to know

What you can bring will depend on the aircraft operating your flight and the airline. On some flights, you may bring a portable oxygen concentrator or an oxygen cylinder on board. You can view the aircraft operating your flight on your itinerary.
