Is it safe/allowed to check in whipped cream chargers with my luggage?

No, compressed gas containers may not be taken on a plane. They may be shipped by ground carrier (such as UPS Ground or FedEx Ground).





You must declare your hazardous materials to the airline, air package carrier, or U.S. Postal Service. Violators of Federal


Hazardous Materials Regulations (49 CFR parts 171-180) may be subject to a civil penalty of up to $50,000 for each violation and, in appropriate cases, a criminal penalty of up to $500,000 and/or imprisonment of up to 5 years.Is it safe/allowed to check in whipped cream chargers with my luggage?
The last answer was based on FAA Hazmat restrictions; TSA restrictions are broader, and also prohibit any compressed air cylinders of any size, except for very limited purposes, such as for powering prosthetic limbs or when transporting self-inflating life vests, or when empty, with no seal or valve. The issue is not the lower air pressure at height, but simply pressurized material period, which presents an explosion hazard anywhere there is a great pressure differential.Is it safe/allowed to check in whipped cream chargers with my luggage?
