Can't get a sensible answer from anybody on the phone, so does anybody know if one can take CO2 cylinders from lifejackets on Ryanair planes?

I took them to Athens earlier this year - in my handbaggage going out and in the hold coming back - no problem.
Told them about it at check-in going out and after speaking to a supervisor they said ok, begorrah /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

The first time I flew on Ryanair they added an announcement to the pre take off safety talk that anyone stealing the lifejackets would be prosecuted. It made me wonder what sort of passengers this airline was carrying.
Don't know what their attitude will be if you leave the lifejacket under your seat and just take the CO2 cylinder.
Seriously, I assume that each life jacket under each seat has a cylinder so don't imagine your extra ones will make much difference.

Its the same bit of kit that is under your non-reclining Ryan Air Seat, say nothing and put it in your hold luggage.
Dont expect to land anywhere near the city or town that they say they fly to either!

...they didn't realise how dangerous a few CCs of compressed CO2 leaking into the hold of a 737 can be.

I quote from the Civil Aviation Authority"Provision for dangerous goods carried by passengers and crew" Chapter 9.1.2(M)...."With the approval of the operators,one small carbon dioxide cylinder per person fitted into a self-inflating life-jacket, plus one spare cylinder"

Ryan Air out of Prestwick refused to allow me to take the CO2 cylinder attached to the jacket with me to Stansted. No loss as there were spare jackets on board the delivery boat but now I don't fly Ryan Air. BA and BMI no problem. I think the problem with Ryan Air is the staff not the rules ie the staff are ill trained and do not know the rules.

But surely they are needed on the lifejackets on the plane /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I have flown on Ryan air a number of times with said cargo, and the anwers changes daily!!
On 6 flights with canister, 3 in hand luggage (lifejacket in case in hold), 2 with lifejacket in hold, and the last one last week from Newquay to Stanstead, had it confiscated altogether! The police dive group on same flight had same problem!
And they spot them if you hide them in your case when they scan it!!!!!!
Best is to keep them separate from the jacket and ask at check-in.
Bit random i'm afraid.

The answer is get it in writing from the head honcho of ryan air then is some little jobs worth at check in says "no" show them the written confirmation or as in my case just don't fly ryan air.

I agree with that. Although I've never done it I've received enough wisdom selling them, and the general rule seems to be get it official and in advance. There is NO reason under IATA or anything else why they should restrict them and all carriers do carry them, but it's just too easy for them to say no at the desk. Prime "jobsworth" opportunity.

Not worth the hassle - bin em and buy new ones locally when you arrive.

Last time they did this to me I tried-on the lifejacket under my seat and the gas cylinder went-off, accidently of course - you should have seen the flap amongst the cabin staff - it kept everyone amused for the whole flight!

Not always possible, as gas cylinder fitting is not universal. October YM

The Ryanair website details confirm that they permit passenger to take lifejackets with CO2 cylinders aboard. Common sense dictates that you unscrew the cylinder from the jacket incase of accidental inflation during the journey. The danger is not from the gas but from the expansion of the jacket in a confined space which could damage the surounds.
If you get any trouble with the check-in require them to look in the detailed regulations. Its clearly stated in there.

Re: Perhaps....
Sorry Steve, I don't understand what you are saying here.
My comment refers to the reaction I got, a few months ago, from a supposed Airbus driver, when I suggested that one should say nowt and take them anyway.
I now tell the staff what I have done and immediately/eventually they concur that taking these cylinders is acceptable. It's simply a case of Check-in staff not usually being educated well enough.
