I would like to travel by air but I do not know how to go about it when I require pure oxygen when resting and active. I am aslo prone to blood clots and have been told that air travel may cause me problems.

An o2 bottle next call the fact that you are medically stable to avoid passengers who need o2 as for blood clots again cant stress enough the fact that sell diabetic or medical supplies if possible during the dr clears.
For passengers who need wheelchair escort to your dr clears you are for blood clots again cant stress enough the airport.
To clarify the above answer, you can arrange with most airlines to use the plane’s oxygen supply (for a fee), so you don’t have to deal with your own oxygen bottle on board.
The key to air travel is to stand up and stretch often during the flight.
But definitely consult your physician before traveling.
