Can you take an aerosol can in checked luggage?

[minnieandmickey]

I bought a can of the glitter that you can spray in your hair, of course it is an aerosol can. Can I put this in my checked luggage?

Check your airlines policy. I don't use hairspray, but, did bring some Pam in my checked luggage.

I had brought aerosol products for years on airplanes, with no problems. Then, one time, while the can didn't blow up, it never worked again and I lost a full can of expensive hair product. That's when several people said you should never take aerosol products on a plane, because the contents are under pressure. Since then, I haven't, lol. Guess it's a judgment call.

I would make sure the lid is on securely and put it in a ziploc bag. I had a whole can of hairspray ruined because the lid came off and sprayed enough to stop the can up. The funny thing about it in hind sight is it emptyed into one of DH shoes! Of course, it was the expensive kind from a salon, too.

I read on the TSA website that aerosol is not allowed in carry-on or checked luggage except toiletries and personal care products in limited quantities.

Isn't hairspray a personal care product?

I would say yes, hairspray is a personal care product. I bring a can in my carryon and haven't had any trouble.

I consider hairspray to be a personal care product also. I don't think I quoted exactly from the TSA site, but described it the same way they did. It just made me wonder why is hairspray ok, but maybe not a can of Lysol? It looks like they may be leaving a "gray area" by not specifically listing hairspray, deodorant, etc.

I have taken Pam with me, not quite personal care, but, sometimes you need it to cook personal food. I think if you really stretched Lysol could be considered personal. Hygene.


I would avoid paint.
