American Airlines stated that my stove which is an alcohol burning stove (Trangia) and fuel bottle if cleaned up well, would be admitted because the fuel used (denatured alcohol) is not considered volatile. I did not argue with them and took the stove and fuel bottle with me. The flares were not accepted at all. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Mar 03 2000 - 11:16:33 PST
