Special Assistance

No, for safety reasons Ryanair does not permit passengers to bring their own oxygen on board our aircraft.

If therapeutic oxygen is required for use during the flight it must be pre-booked by calling the Ryanair Special Assistance Line preferably on the same day as the flight booking is made or at the latest 7 days prior to travel.

N.B. Passengers requiring oxygen must carry a letter in English from their doctor (dated within 2 weeks of intended date of travel) which specifically confirms that:

1. They are fit to travel
2. They do not require a continuous supply of oxygen for more than 120 minutes at high flow or 240 minutes at the low flow rate.
3. The therapeutic oxygen at flow rate provided is suitable for the passenger needs

Passengers will not be accepted for travel without this letter.

Ryanair can supply therapeutic oxygen at two flow rates and the flow rate required must be confirmed as suitable in writing by your doctor.

• 2 litres per minute for the duration of 240 minutes - low flow
• 4 litres per minute for a duration of 120 minutes - high flow

We recommend that customers requiring a continuous supply of oxygen for more than 240 minutes at low flow should not travel on Ryanair. However, customers should also refer to our policy on the use of portable oxygen concentrators onboard our aircraft.
