But, I wondered if anyone here has any knowledge about potential issues with transporting a compressor on DL. TIA.
I transport strange pieces of equipment in checked baggage all the time and all over the world, including once an (electric) air compressor, and I have never had a problem. If there is an attached air tank I would disconnect it and maybe even pack it separately if possible so that TSA can clearly see it is not under pressure.
