We brought two in 2013.....not sure why....I guess because because they were sitting there with our boating stuff. We packed them in our checked luggage. They didn't make the trip in 2014 and likely won't make the next trips either.

trueblue said: We promised his mom he would have one, and I know he will not wear the red ones supplied in the boat. He is new to sailing and we thought this was a good compromise, at least until he gets his sea legs. Great compromise and great idea - If he were my grandson he'd have one on at all times under sail and I'd make him inflate it once on board and jump in once and inflate it so he gets a feel for how to do it and what to expect.........but that is just the over protective type I am! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

My wife just flew from Minneapolis to STT (via Atlanta) on Delta. She had her PFD in carry-on. The TSA woman in Minneapolis stopped my wife and pulled out the PFD. My wife showed her the printout of the TSA regs that allow cartridges. She was confused and got her supervisor. The supervisor was better informed and said "No problem. have a nice day."

denverd0n said: Considering that the FAA actually REQUIRES a CO2 inflatable PFD to be underneath every seat on the airplane, for flights over water, it is kind of idiotic for US Airways to say they aren't going to allow them. Yes that is true but I think you are looking at it the wrong way. They also carry high pressure oxygen bottles, chemical O2 generators, HP cylinders in rafts, flares in survival kits and a lot of other things that you wouldn't want every passenger to have in their carry-ons.
