Carry your oxygen aboard the plane

This time next year, people who need supplemental medical oxygen will be able to carry a portable oxygen concentrator aboard any airline flight in the United States, or any flight beginning or  ending in America.

It's been possible to do this for a few years now -- but only on certain airlines, and it was entirely the airline's choice to allow carry-on oxygen or not.

Now it will be mandatory: Airlines must accept DOT-approved oxygen concentrators.

What's an Alpha look like?

Put another way: What does Alpha-1 look like?

But there's only one way to tell.
