Yeah. You can't just board a plane and tell the crew you require oxygen. You need to get in touch with customer service and arrange all that. They will provide you with a generator after you clear security. But you need to take care of all these things when you buy the ticket. My grandfather went through this a few years back on CAL. It's only a problem if you don't plan ahead and just expect everyone to part the way.
