I think the biggest problem would be the people that don't care (i.e., the people that move it). If it is in a freight plane (converted domestic), I would guess that it would be packed in a pressurised cabin and that maxes out at 6psi. Un-pressurised transport is something I am not sure about, but I think the pressure is only a few psi. Will be interesting to find out. Will take a look and see if I can find out. :blink:wee stu said:What the problems are when it comes to international freight, I can't even pretend to know. But, beer bottles are pressurised CO2 containers, which means they could explode (given the right conditions) so who knows how the US authorities view them on planes?

There is still pressure on all surfaces of the bottle at roughly 18,000 feet, I wonder what it is at 36,000ft. Maybe half again. Besides you can get beer on in flights. My fear is still the lowest common denominator, the person who does not care about your package.Some web site said:At sea level, one square-inch of any surface has about 15 pounds of air sitting on top of it. At 18,000 feet, that same square inch has only 7.5 pounds per square-inch (psi) exerted on it.
