Question: Can I put cans in the hold?
Hi
Is it OK to put cans of drink (coke, beer etc) in my hold luggage?
Will the explode or are they a danger?
Many thanks for any answers

I've always been very hesitant with putting that sort of thing in my checked luggage. Along the lines of Notso's post, I am constantly amazed at how things manage to get squeezed and broken, and manage to soak everything else in the bag!

Thanks for your replys
I appreciate that things may get squashed, damaged and broken by airport conveyors, baggage handlers and reclaim sysytems, it was more the pressurised can of drink in an un-pressureised hold I was concerend about, could it actually explode?

....holds are pressurised.... and heated. We even carry animals and fruit and veg down there. All you have to worry about is having coke leak onto your clothes if it bursts or leaks, and they do.......very occasionally.

Unless you plan to take no clothes at all, don't bother.
3 days supply of beer at any decent stag do is more than you, I, or if it comes to that, any known aeroplane, could carry.
Buy it locally, cold and cheap.

To be on the safe side. I would not put cans in a hold case. If it is scanned and the cans show up I could imagine a few raised eybrows, not to put a too finer point on it.
Could leave to you and your bags being dumped. Not worth the hassle or the chance.
