I would have the sea and beaches I have the opportunity to travel in the next year. What would be some suggestions for places to travel with COPD I have moderate copd and am on oxygen at night.
I live in Canada and would be flying out of Calgary.
Would love to hear of any semi-tropical or sea side places I could visit.

I don't know how Canadian Providers of 02 work, so the first question to ask is where would they provide 02? The US providers will provide 02 within the US, with the exceptions of Alaska and Hawaii. So find out where they will provide 02 and make your decision accordingly. One thing you can do in the US and might be able to do in Canada is take the stationary concentrator you have, put it in a suitcase and ship it where you're going. That way you'd have your 02 regardless of where you went.

Talk to your pulmonologist and get an Inogen One. You can take them with you everywhere. I have a g5 and take it wherever I go. My insurance pays for it (not all insurances do).
