Easyjet didn't ask me that when I flew with them.

You weren't allowed cigarette lighters in your hand luggage when I flew a couple of weeks ago.

Me, or anyone else I know has ever been told we're not allowed aerosols in our suitcase.
Mums suitcase has been subject to spot checks twice, and they never took her deodrant out.

Foxy, stop worrying!!

Like I said - he can have all his cosmetics in his suitcase!!

Thats what i thought, cause the pressure in the hold can cause pressurised cans to explode

Foxy,
Dan will be fine!!! I'm sure he would survive a week in italy with out any toiletries at all, sure he would stink like hell when he returned, but he's a lad! I can't tell you what you can and can't pack cos i haven't been on a plane in 10 yrs!

Hope Dan has a nice trip! xxxx

I'm worrying, I'm worrying It's only two days away now

Obviously published before the latest terrorist attacks, but you CAN take aerosols in your suitcase:

Well, it's been a known fact for quite a few years that you cannot take any aerosols on flights I have been on, as they are obviously inflammable! I have just taken this off my Easyjet site and although it doesn't say aerosols, I can guarantee you that when you get to the check in there will be a massive sign behind of restricted items one of which is aersosol cans, and also you will be asked if you have packed any!

Gas cylinders. Deeply refrigerated flammable, non-flammable, and poisonous gases such as butane, oxygen, propane, and aqualung cylinders. Includes butane gas (eg for use with heated hair appliances) camping gas, and chef's blow torches.

I cannot understand Hevvur how you have not noticed any of these signs at the airport when they are about 10 foot high and all printed in big red letters, one of which is aerosols????? Maybe they were too big to see them as is often the case!!!! Like I said, I have had 6 trips since April this year and every single time I was asked if I had packed any aerosols in my suitcase! Strange

I'm talking London/Gatwick here, maybe it's different up North!!!?????

I have always packed aerosols ( deoderant /hairspray ) in my checked in luggage -I've been searched a few times and its never been queried -I've taken the gas straighteners too - you can take the canister in the appliance but not refills .

Vodka is flammable but they still let you drink it on board

I've never seen any signs saying you can't take aerosols in your case.
On the manchester airport website, it says you can't take them in hand luggage. No mention of your case.

I've flown a few times this year, and not one of them said I couldn't have aerosols in my case - one of the flights was just after the recent terrorist attacks, the day after you could actually take hand luggage again in normal bags.

Although we aren't that far from Manchester Airport for some stupid reason they are travelling from Liverpools John Lennon airport Don't know why they couldn't go from Manchester - it would have been a lot easier
