  I would think any major North American airline would be able to make accommodations for oxygen use...

  To my knowledge, any airline would be accomodating.  Any medications (including oxygen) can be carried onboard.  Oxygen tanks shouldn't have an issue with any pressure differences either.  My FI's grandparents always fly Delta and his grandpa uses oxygen.  He's never had an issue.  Just call to be sure there will not be any issues before booking the flights.

  The first hit from google:
  
  [QUOTE]
  <p>According to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), federal law prevents the airlines from allowing passengers to bring their own oxygen canisters, and there is no mandate requiring airlines to provide supplemental oxygen aboard. As a result, there is no oxygen provided on some low-cost carriers such as Southwest and JetBlue, or on certain regional or shuttle flights operated by the major airlines.</p><div class="mpu"> ***
  
  </div> <p>However, most of the legacy airlines, including American, United, Delta, US Airways, Northwest, and Continental, do offer in-flight oxygen on many routes, provided you give them at least 48 hours notice of your need and pay a hefty fee. Fees vary, but most airlines charge per flight segment. American, for example, charges $100 per segment, so if you were to book a round-trip flight with one connection each way, you'd pay a $400 fee. Airlines also usually require authorization from your doctor that supplemental oxygen is medically necessary.</p> <p>***</p><p>Airlines do not provide oxygen on the ground, so you must make arrangements for friends, relatives, or local suppliers to bring you oxygen before departure, during layovers, between connecting flights, and after arrival. Oxygen is only allowed through security checkpoints after it passes x-ray and explosive trace detection screening.[/QUOTE]</p><p> </p><p>From: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.smartertravel.com/travel-advice/bring-medical-oxygen-airplane.html?id=10677">http://www.smartertravel.com/travel-advice/bring-medical-oxygen-airplane.html?id=10677</a></p>
