Can you pack a self inflating HIT life jacket in your luggage (on a airplane)?
Sorry it's not much of a bass question....but I knew ya'll would know!! I could get a faster response here. Thanks!!
You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Unknown
Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life youre living.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

I would think compressed gas canisters would be against FAA regulations.

from TSA.gov - TAS Prohibited Items Small compressed gas cartridges (Up to 2 in life vests and 2 spares. The spares must accompany the life vests and presented as one unit) OK OK They are OK for Carry on and for being checked.

Thanks! Sounds like it's okay to take them.

Just take the CO2 cylinder out and buy a new one when you get there. Then try bringing it back. That way they don't try and take the whole life jacket and you are only out $20.
Or just take the CO2 out of the jacket and just pack it normally in your luggage.

Hum.....so I can unscrew the CO2 and reuse the same CO2?
Put both of them in my checked baggage?

I have with mine before. Then just screw it back in. Just don't pull the cord or anything on accident or else you might have to buy a replacement for the little arming clip.
Not sure about putting it in luggage, but if you are going to try, then def take it out of the jacket.

I called Mustang and they said each airlines is different. Here is what I found on AA website. BUT see the note section..."TSA may confiscate"
Per AA website -
"Self-Inflating Life Jackets
Example
Life jackets inflated by CO2 cartridges
Allowed For Travel?
Yes
Notes
Limit to one per passenger in checked baggage only.
TSA may confiscate."
