Recently my sons were on RT flights: JFK-CGD-CMN.
At JFK they could not bring an empty-of-fuel MSR stove to me at CMN. They had to leave it behind at JFK and pay $30 storage so they could retrieve it when they came back.
Are AF folks dumb/stupid/what? The stoves are empty and have been for a YEAR. Absolutely NO fuel vapour.
Are they following USA rules or are they just paranoid as compared to the AF and BA folks in Canada? Don't give me any plap about safety - everyone flying is concerned about safety AND none of us want to die while flying...
I can bring the same stove from YYZ with absolutely no problem at all. Why not out of JFK??
Are AF folks going to issue corks to prevent farts that contain explosive methane?
Just wondering about the paranoia regarding an empty MSR stove not being allowed in baggage...
This really boggles the mind and reminds me why I personally refuse to fly via the USA when flying into/out of North America.
