Can 'Snow in a can' be checked in luggage for a flight?
Bizarre question I know, but I'm traveling to Australia from Canada and want to bring snow in a can for the tree as you can't buy any there. The product is non flammable however is an aerosol can. I hear all international (large) planes are pressurized so it should be fine.. Has anyone else flown with fake snow before? I would have it in checked luggage obviously as I wouldn't need it for the flight ahhaa.
Best Answer
The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority has a master list of allowed and prohibited items. Under "Aerosol spray bottles/cans" it says aerosols are allowed in checked luggage, but limited to 500ml per can and 2 liters total.
So if your can is less than 500 ml, and you have less than 2 liters of aerosols total, then you can put it in your checked luggage.

It's handy for keeping frozen foods cold. Major airlines generally allow passengers to pack up to 5.5 pounds (2.5 kilograms) of dry ice if it's packed according to the airline's specifications.Can - Mother Sky (1970) [HQ]
