Soft drink bottle on Plane?

Question

Is it safe to carry unopened carbonated soft drink bottles or canned soft drinks in my luggage when travelling on a plane? Will the contents explode under pressure?

Answer 1

The laws say you are not allowed to take any container that has more than three ounces of liquid through security.  Nevertheless, the planes themselves have cans of soda on board, yet they don't explode.  They may get shake up, though.  

Answer 2

According to the TSA, yes you can carry them in your checked luggage.  No, they are not likely to explode since the luggage areas are not pressurized.

Answer 3

No, they won't explode.

Yes, you can put them in your checked luggage.

No, you cannot bring them through airport security, but you can buy them on the other side (i.e. where the gates are).  Given you did the latter, yes, you can take them on the plane with you.

Answer 4

Any liquid containing more than like 3-5 ounces is banned. If you have it in the check in luggage it is ok. Carry-on is not allowed and yes it could explode like mousse for your hair. Unless you buy the product after check in and security screening it is not permissable.

Answer 5

can pack sodas and soft drinks, no they won't explode. you might get caught for it tho

Answer 6

Planes are pressurized, if your lungs don't explode, there's no reason for a can of pop to explode!!! America sucks!

Answer 7

It will not explode as the container is strong enough to contain the pressure differential at cabin altitude. (Champaign is a carbonated drink found on Aircraft.) However if the can is warm and shaken it will deliver a surprising amount of spray when opened.

In regards to taking liquid aboard the aircraft.  You can take larger quantities on board if it is purchased from a controlled shop, like Duty Free and sealed.  Internationally it can some times be carried to the Aircraft. In the US I believe it has to be delivered to the Aircraft Door by the licensed and approved Vendor responsible for it's sale..
