And forget about taking CO2 cartridges--in a carry on or in checked luggage. I had to toss out several. I had been taking them in checked bags for a couple of years not realizing that I shouldn't. What will they do? Blow a hole in the plane?

Yes, I asked FedEx and I couldn't even ship CO2 cartridges with my bike. So it's not just on passenger aircraft.
My sister's LBS was kind enough to let me borrow a couple of cartridges for the Lone Star Ride and return them when I didn't use them.
(She uses a hand pump.)
Which brings up another thing - I deflate my tires before shipping my bike. I think that's probably wise, but I can't remember ever seeing that in anyone's instructions.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

I deflate my tires, too. Not totally flat, but I let out a lot of air. I'm sorry for all the times I put people in jeopardy by taking my CO2 cartridges on planes-myself, too. Yikes....
