I have an AirSep portable concentrator. It runs either off battery or off electricity. I slept with it using electricity for 1 week when I traveled to the Bahamas in May. I also use the cigarette lighter adapter when I am driving in my car.

Jean has tried it and it worked so that is a pretty good recommendation.

Have a nice trip.
