Some passengers use it as a way of getting over jet lag, flavored oxygen bars have become the latest craze on college campuses, and Keith Richards has been using oxygen as a hangover recipe for years. No matter how they are advertised, it\u2019s still compressed oxygen that is not allowed aboard aircraft.<\/p>\n
Despite being generally no better than tap water and much more expensive, bottled water is now a $9-billion industry in the United States. In an attempt to sell another freely available product at a high profit, marketers are selling canned oxygen. Distributors are making the \u201coxygen experience\u201d more widely available by retailing oxygen in stores in flavors such as lemon, cherry, and mint.<\/p>\n
The compressed oxygen canisters have already been seen in shops and\/or vending machines at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA), and Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP), I suppose for the purpose of disembarking passengers; however, passengers could easily purchase these canned oxygen products once inside security and take them aboard the aircraft. This gives the false impression that these canisters are allowed aboard commercial aircraft. They are not.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut,\u201d you say, \u201cI don\u2019t fly for a 121 carrier.\u201d Perhaps you are flying a group of skiers back to the lowlands from Colorado. The lowlanders are feeling the results of high altitude sickness. Guess what? Ski resorts are making a killing selling canned oxygen to the oxygen-deprived.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[105],"class_list":["post-187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","tag-personal-oxygen-canisterscanned-oxygenrecreational-oxygenflavored-oxygenoxygen-barscompressed-oxygen-canisterspack-safe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=187"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
