Is this stuff flammable or likely to be something that shouldn't go in checked airline luggage? (I can get it in the UK, but it costs almost double.)

Yes it is flammable. I doubt that you can put it in the your luggage, but I do not know the airline regulations.

It says is flammable. It definitely has a very strong odor, I would not try flying with it. There are to many categories it could be put into. It also tends to leak through sprayer. I keep mine in a plastic bag all the time because the fumes. Good luck whatever you choose.

Brought a ThermaCELL unit unopened in checked baggage for international flight to South America where they are not sold. The box was never opened and sealed and also contained a butane cartridge. No problem. Don't know why anyone would expect it to be a problem as the cargo holds are pressurized to a minimum of the equivalent of 8,000 foot altitude I believe.I had a refill box sent to me in South America and that was shipped by air carrier I believe and no problem either. If you are still concerned, look into one of the security boxes that are sold for bringing butane lighters on an airplane.

I don't know, but you're probably better off just buying a can of it at your destination (or ordering it and having it shipped to a place near your destination). If you are going to bear country, then somebody probably sells it. If the plastic safety device somehow manages to fail during transport, then you will not be able to touch, wear, or use anything in your suitcase. I got a tiny bit of residue on my thumb one time, and I had to take a soapy shower when I got home from the hike. This happened because a domesticated dog did a bum-rush and face-lick on me, so I had to hold the can away from the dog, and my finger barely touched the outlet of the spray mechanism. Then I touched my face, etc. It took a few minutes for the burning sensation to start.

Do you mean put it in a carry on bag or carry it loose? Best to check with the airline. if It's shorter than the max bag length you could always bag it. I checked it when I flew.

Probably depends on the airline, but it is highly likely to be assessed an 'odd shaped baggage fee.' Also, as sturdy a unit as it is, there's still question as to whether it would survive the luggage handling. Bottom line is 'check with the carrier.'

I really have no idea - best suggestion is to get some, and use it, and test the flammability. Dharma Trading sells an anti-flame product specifically for fibers. You might contact them and ask your question.

Even the manufacturers don't seem to know (see my review). First question would be, "Is the insulation flammable?" Most of that foam stuff is. I know of no non-flammable plastic bags, either. Some urethane foams are moderately flame-retardant. Try to keep in mind that the ~120V 12A line powering this object is fully capable of handing ~1500 watts to a toaster oven. What happens when the thermostat fails or the cable shorts is anybody's guess. I suggest NOT enclosing it. At all. Ever. Even if it is several feet from the potential freeze section, fluid convection will do the job as long as the heat cable is supplying energy.

Hi Sumar, No this cannot be packed in luggage to go on a plane. The TSA stricktly prohibits explosive or flammable materials. Thnaks, Jerry

No. Shipping flammable substances is frownd upon. Buy your own. It's fairly inexpensive.

I tried to take similar packs in my carry-on and they were confiscated by security. Pack them in your checked bags and you'll be okay.

On the back of the package is written: FLAMMABLE. VAPOR HARMFUL. The warning on the lable says: keep away from heat, spark and flame. They also want you to use it in a ventilated area to avoid breathing vapors. As long as you follow all directions & take precautions as stated on the lable, you should be okay.

The cartridges contain butane which is highly flammable. Best check with the airline.

I bet this will be confiscated by TSA agents. So, if you really need it, pack it in your checked baggage. If you are traveling without checked baggage...leave this at home. I had a great multi-tool that was shaped like a key confiscated and no matter how long I tried to argue, TSA would not budge. The dull blade on that key was probably no longer than 1 inch.

Because it contains a butane canister,I would say no.Could ship it,or better yet,have Amazon ship it to your destination!It would be considered flammable or explosive by USPS, as well as an airline.
