About MedFly Safe
We're more than a travel blog—we're a trusted resource for travelers with medical devices, providing expert guidance on flying safely with portable oxygen concentrators, CPAP machines, wheelchairs, and essential health equipment.
Our Mission
To empower medical device travelers with accurate, up-to-date resources that make air travel safer, easier, and stress-free. We believe everyone deserves to travel confidently, regardless of their medical equipment needs.
"When we started researching medical device travel regulations, we discovered how fragmented and confusing the information was. That's why we created MedFly Safe—to be the comprehensive, trusted resource we wished existed. Every guide is researched from official sources, every tip comes from real-world experience, and every piece of advice prioritizes traveler safety and compliance."
