Desireable form of container for transporting cans of beer in luggage
I was intending to bring some beer back home in my check-in luggage. From reading some of the previous questions on StackExchange, I know that transporting beer in glass bottles is safe and practical, but since aluminium cans are much lighter than glass bottles, I was wondering if there is a more suitable container for taking them in luggage. In my luggage there is just clothes, some print material and a laptop.
Will aluminium cans be more prone to damage in the process of luggage handling, or in the cabin environment with lower pressure? Is there something I need to pay extra attention to when packing them in my luggage?
Best Answer
Socks, put the beers in socks and/or roll them in your own cloths.
On a side note, I would not put a laptop in check-in luggage if possible. Take it with you as a carry-on.

Answer 2
Socks as @max said are a great idea.
Tons Plastic bubble wrap ( that's what i did). all my guiness bottles and cans sustained a high atmospheric flight due to a storm from dublin to barcelona without breaking, loosing gas , or opening alone, and had a good taste afterwards.
Plus, if something breaks inside a big bubble wrap ball, nothing else will soak.
Also, as @max said, laptop as carry on if you don't want to find a surprise.

We did this once for 2h flight with friends. We simply put them into the luggage, with a simple with a knot bag around it in case of rupture. One of the side benefits was that the beer was nice and cold after the flight.
