Can I bring a camping stove on a plane?
Fuel, fuel cartridges and fuel vapour are the key issue. A stove’s acceptability is not the same as permission to carry fuel.
Scope
Dangerous-goods rules and airline acceptance apply; check the exact stove and fuel type.
Before-you-fly checklist
- 1Never assume an empty fuel canister is acceptable.
- 2Identify fuel type and whether vapour remains.
- 3Get written confirmation from the operating airline if needed.
