Has anyone had a problem taking these thermacell cartridges in their checked baggage when flying?

I usually put the cartridge in the quart sized bag with other liquids. I also have checked the cartridge with other toiletries in my suitcase. There is a limit to how many you can take with you. I would check with the airline. One is definitely all right. You may be able to take two. Most European cities and the US will carry them in pharmacies. You can buy extras if you need them, but they last well.

According to the information on the package, they can be taken on an airplane. You might want to check with your carrier, there might be a limit to the number you could take with you or the regulation may have changed. It has been some time since I made this purchase.

I fly on a regular basis. I have not had a problem with the thermacell in my checked baggage

I have flown to the UK on several occasions since using the Thermacell cartridges and have had no problems at all. I prefer my hair curler to an electic one, even though we can convert with another power plug. But. . . that is just me. We have been flying every two years since 1998. And I always put them in checked baggage, not in hand luggage. I do hope this will help you.

I've traveled extensively with my curling iron with the cartridge in it. I pack an extra cartridge in my checked bag if I'm going to be gone for an extended trip.

I write the Federal hazmat transportation regulations for a living. For domestic U.S. and international air travel, you may bring only one cartridge on board in either your checked or carry-on baggage and it must be installed in the curling iron. Refills are not authorized in checked or carry-on baggage. See 49 CFR 175.10(a)(6).

No, not at all, i've taken only one cartridge inside the cordless curler and i've had no problem at all. I've taken it with me about 3 different times.

Carry-on has never been a problem for me. Traveled to Las Vegas last week and had my insulin pump in my Frio pump pouch, no questions about the pouch. Also brought my larger FRIO pouch with vials and pens of insulin with me in my hand luggage on orher trips, also no problems.

I've been using these cartridges, and have not had any problems, which is no help to you at all. I'm so sorry. It could be a one time manufacturing glitch, which is certainly not reassuring.

No problem with item in checked baggage. However, I do now have a claim in with TSA for a mult tool that was missing from my checked bag. TSA questioned how I knew they were to blame. I thought it fairly obvious when they left an inspection ticket in the pocket where the tool had been. It seems these are popular with the inspectors.

I travel all the time and have never had a problem. As a precaution you can also place it in a ziplock bag.

yes. i have gone through several times with no problem. other times the digital thermometer display concerns the. and they open the cooler. for long trips i do sometimes use the solid ice that my med is delivered with.

I tried to take similar packs in my carry-on and they were confiscated by security. Pack them in your checked bags and you'll be okay.

Sorry - I have never attempted to fly with it. They may consider the cartridges dangerous also. I'm not sure.

I did not have that problem but I would definitely return them. They could have been depressurized if they were sent to you via an airplane flying at high altitude. This is definitely not normal.

I agree with both points that Allhooligan made. You need to check TSA regulations - not difficult I did it not long ago. Just google "TSA regulations for air travelers."The product did a very poor job when I tried to remove a stain from upholstery.

Reviews as well as success rates for 'carry-on' are mixed. So go to: http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/compressed-gas-cylinders . You can make up your own mind regarding the charged cartridges of CO2 or NO2. The siphon should be packed unassembled, open for visual inspection.

I know that some folks have responded that their printer could not recognize the cartridges when loaded, however I have had NO problem. These Cartridges have worked great for me!

I have carried it on the plane many, many times. I've even checked the TSA website and it is okay to carry on. I always put the cartridge in my liquids bag though. I don't know how long the cartridge lasts, but it seems like it lasts forever. I've used mine once a week (We have a long drive to church.) and every time I travel or camp for two years. It is about 3/4 gone.

I purchased this last year and have flown several times. I've had no problem taking it through security with the packs frozen.

I've flown with them domestically and internationally without any problems. I didn't pack them in a ziplock, just tucked in my carry on.

I always take the butane cartridge out of the curling iron, and then pack them both separately in my check in luggage. The only time I ever put mine in my carry on luggage, was on the way back to the United States from a trip to Australia. They took it away from me at the airport in Hawaii, but then gave it back to me a week later when I was leaving Hawaii. (This was in 1984! Yes, I have been in love with these butane curling irons for that long!!) Again, just put it in your check in luggage, and you should be fine. I still do this about every other month, and have had no problems, whatsoever! I always take the butane cartridge out of the curling iron, and then pack them both separately in my check in luggage.

I'm not sure about carry on. The butaine cartridge is small enough (less than 3 ounces) but tsa regulations may not allow it in carry on. I packed mine in my checked bags which was fine.
