Hold luggage? I’ve taken deoderants loads of times?

It at the operators discretion if you tell them you have them in your hold luggage.

ok…i kinda wondered how they got here…but i guess on a big boat

Safe – probably*

Allowed – no

*are you absolutely, 100% sure, completely certain that the cylinders are completely undamaged? When they burst they go with one heck of a bang.

Mine were removed from baggage by airport security (Lanzarote), so maybe not down to individual airline.

According to the list of dangerous and non-permitted items from the Bristol Airport website, Compressed Gas Cylinders are included so i’d suggest that’s a “no”.

Enough is ENOUGH! I have had it with these motherfunkin’ CO2 canisters on this motherfunkin’ plane! Everybody strap in! I’m about to open some funkin’ windows.

i flew with easyjet a couplke of weeks ago and the x-ray machine picked them up in my bike bag. I was told that i could take a maximum of 2 canisters but as there was two of us travelling and my mate didn’t have any they allowed me to take 4

They were removing them from bags at Gatwick a couple of weeks ago.

I checked this when flying with Easyjet – they are allowed in hand baggage, but the maximum number is a bit confusing to the check in security staff – there are no sizes in their rule book, so the maximum tends to relate to diving tanks!
On the way out I took 5 or 6 and had no problem. On the way back from Geneva I did have a problem – initially they didn’t want to allow any, after much faffing about they first said 1, then 2 each. As there was two of us and I had 4 we just split them between us.

Easier just to take a proper pump, but worth a go – they’re cheap enough to lose surely.

Canadian Affair / Thomas Cook don’t allow them, I had to remove mine.
