I would like to hear more on this subject from those who have traveled from within the US....
Friday I plan on catching a flight from KC to Chicago with my head and plenum, and than back to KC Saturday. The last thing I need is for my Meg to get siezed for some Dumb a$$ reason...
Any advise on this would be great!!!
Thanks
I am traveling to Bonaire in Aug and have spent some time researching this issue:
According to TSA's website they wil allow scuba cylinders as carry-on as long as the vavle is removed.
But I have still heard of tanks being pulled from luggage or simply not let on due to other restrictions-differnet countries, diffeent airports, TSA's ability to do whatever they want.
Other individuals have carried them on the plane as carry-on luggage i.e. Paul Heinerth, Jeff Bonzanic and had mixed results with some locations allowing them to do so while other airports would allow it. (ie Spirit Airlines in Ft Lauderdale-denied)
Therefore I am renting tanks but if this wasn't an issue i would ship these ahead as well as my case and carry on the head unit and bail-out regs, backup computer, etc...
Hope this helps
