Poster: A snowHead

I have some handwarmer "pads" as well as reusable gel type...
Does anyone have any knowledge / experience of whether these should be carried in the hold / cabin? I can see the airlines not keen on sachets of chemicals being bandied about, but I'm also keen on the gels splitting in the hold inside my bag...

Just was in Whistler, Canada and took a whole load for Brother's gf and had them in suit case. Heathrow Airport and Vancouver Airport and Air Canda did not mind.
Gel pads will not split. Well atleast the ones I took...
Chemical air warmed ones, also fine.
Actual heat of these are quite low in reality.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

stick them in a sealed sandwich bag in your hold case.

I took some of the teabag style ones in my hand luggage (I offered them up for inspection) at Luton once with no issues.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks all, I didn't think it would be a massive issue (as there are no forums full of peeps with problems), just wanted to check

some of the teabag ones are excellent - others a bit of a damp squib. I can't cope with the gel ones inside my gloves but always have teabags in my salopettes pocket, just in case. I was once able to give some to a very sad little sobbing French girl with freezing hands. warm hands for her, a warm self righteous glow for me, and all for less than the cost of a coffee!

Sportsdirect were doing the teabags ones for £0.50 and the gel ones for £1.50, so I don't mind about losing them, or giving them away.
I've used both before, although the best one I have is a little charcoal one that was my dad's, although that requires a little skill to get an even "burn"...
