I've put tins of fizzy drinks in checked luggage a few times without problems. Wrap the can in a T shirt or two and a bag for life weight plastic bag then place it in your luggage such that it will move as little as possible.

Millions of soda cans are shipped around the world on aircraft everyday ... if you are worried simply put it in a ziplock bag, it won't explode.

as the air pressure in the hold is the same as in the cabin, and the fizzy cans in the cabin do not explode, then you can be sure that you will be ok!

Have you ever seen a can given to you by the FA's explode? No didn't think so. The baggage hold is pressurised the same as the cabin.

The Star Wars Land co*ke products are in bottles, not cans.

They are re-sealable as well - if you wanted to transport an empty one to be safe.

Regarding those bottles - we brought them as hand baggage as had read people having them removed from luggage as they resemble a grenade/weapon.

Would recommend buying two and bringing an empty back in hand luggage just in case! Although they are expensive!

there is no way that a glass object would show up on the screen as a weapon or grenade! dont believe all you read.

"they resemble a grenade/weapon."

They are banned by TSA.

I thought I read that TSA put out a statement saying they were not on the banned list.They are plastic bottle there is a cap that goes over the normal lid we brought 2 back to Australia no issues with TSA or leakage I did take the over cap off to make it look more like a normal bootle
