You can fly into higher places without the need for oxygen, but you might suffer temporary altitude sickness. For example, I have flown from sea level to 3800 metres (2.25 miles) and only had mild altitude sickness on arrival.

Also, your 20. I suppose the people I'm talking about are the forty fifty year olds that come from florida and texas and can't breath enough to walk up a flight of stairs. I'm at 7,000 feet by the way. (don't ask me what that is in meters, I'm too lazy) |

Although I have gone up to similar heights and skiied straight away in France. The point was just that you wouldn't need specific oxygen on the way up - the building would likely have to be semi-pressurised at that height anyway so you probably wouldn't feel the effects of altitude sickness. 7000 feet is about 2000 metres (1.25 miles or 2 kilometres).

That probably means no windows to open, and no fresh breeze. No thanks. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
