butane gas straightners

[bawden2]

Does anyone know if you can carry butane gas straightners in your checked luggage. As i know you can no longer carry gas lighters.
Many thanks.:unsure:

As far as I remember you can, but you can't take a gas refill. To make sure go to the website for your carrier and that should list what you can and can't take and where it should be packed.:thumbs:

When I took mine with Virgin and with Mytravel, I could take the straighters OK but no gas refill. I got refills at Walgreens pharmmacy.

Who are you travelling with bawden?

Firstchoice. Thanks.:)

You are probably best ringing First Choice after the bank holiday to find out for definite. In my leaflet which I got with my Airtours flight tickets on Friday, it quotes "The following items are not permitted in your hand luggage or suitcase - Gas refills for gas powered hair appliances."

Many thanks. I will take my brush that straigtens hair as you dry it. Hard work but better than nothing. If all fails than will tie it back.:eek:

To be honest, the straightener just about keeps my fringe & side bits under control & mine is usually tied back & under a baseball hat within an hour as the humidity causes the curls to reappear as if by magic. During a similar post last year. a lot of the ladies were saying the same thing.

Thanks Katie. You are right. We have had a few warm days down here in Cornwall and within an hour of being out it starts to frizz. At least nobody knows me.:lol:
