Every year thers always a post on here about flying with kit.

Best advice say nowt de gas and remove reg from bottle and dont fly with Ryan Air cos that got F$@K up a couple of years ago by people asking way too many questions to which Ryan Air changed thier policies and basically aint happy with paintball kit besides their weight limits are ****e.

Fly with Easy Jet anytime you can they have good weight limits and they also have a sporting equipment allowance to 40kgs i think.

dont tell them brings issues allways with an over anal checkin

open bottle allways, though sosta once told me they go into space so can definatly cope even if full but as said a valve going could be a blast at 30,000 feet so why risk it

stick pgi or something like that on the top of the bag when opened then thats it they will then go toy end of

cheers everyone, as i said before the bottles are goin down by road, and when u take the from and back and barrel off an sp8 ur just left with plastic and metal internals so i dont thisnk its goin to look like much of anything on an x-ray machine. its brittish airways and they let u carry on shotguns and stuff anyway so i really dont see a problem.

"-If you fly Ryan air, ship your equipment cus they have different policies than everybody else."

Yeah Red Heat went to Max's Masters last April, they emailled them & RyanAir told them it was all good

they got there & were told they couldn't take their markers :(

2 guys had to drive the kit over....from the UK to Germany

Ideally take the reg from the bottle but some these days you can't.

Make sure your marker is stripped down i.e. barrel is off and it's not attached to the bottle, see first point.

Don't tell them, when we first started flying to Mill Series we were a bit wet behind the ears and declared it, then after a few flights we just stopped telling them.

So there you go, and, your markers should be in the hold, not held as hand luggage.

Maybe Scottish Warriors being huckled into a meatwagon in Glasgow Airport's not a bad thing.....;)
