co2 canisters on international flights

ive a question for all the lads that have been in norway,were going next year,and i want to bring my self inflating lifejacket.as they only supply the bulky ones over there...my question is,can you bring co2 canisters in your luggage on international flights..

Whatever about the flight... good luck getting a metal canister of compressed gas passed security

Yes, I took an inflatable lifejacket to the us last year without any issue there or back. Are all the lifejackets in the plane not already compressed gas versions?

Deodorant canisters are allowed so long as they go in your checked in baggage, so I'd imagine your lifejacket would be allowed also.

Obviously it couldnt be part of your carry on luggage, but then I guess you know that already.

Noel would you mind taking a little package over for me. Only small and nothing to worry about;)

cheers for the replys lads,got some useful advice via pms...thanks lads..
