Hold luggage? I've taken deoderants loads of times?
It at the operators discretion [b]if[/b] 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.
