Is it allowed to transport a small gas container, for a camping stove, in the luggage?
I am planning to go camping abroad. I am taking a camping stove, but I am not sure I can take the gas bottle (kind of like this one)
Of course I can buy one at the destination, but I am not sure where and how I will find one. It would be more practical just to carry it.
Am I allowed to carry this in the check-in luggage?
Best Answer
OK, this question is for the gas bottle, the other one was for the camping stove.
For the gas bottle, it's clearly no.

Check the website of any airline and i think you will find it in the list of things you can't take.

Can I fly with a camping stove?
Camp stoves are legal, but the call is up to the TSA official at the airport. The TSA website says camp stoves can travel as carry-on or checked luggage only if they are empty of all fuel and cleaned so that there are no vapors or residue. Simply emptying the fuel container will leave flammable vapors.Can you take a gas cylinder on a plane?

Except for personal medical oxygen cylinders, you can only carry an EMPTY compressed gas cylinder onboard a plane. To be permitted (in either carry-on or checked baggage), it must be clearly visible to the TSA officer that the cylinder is empty.Ep 19 - Managing \u0026 Carrying Gas for Camping
