Soloist, how hard is it to remove and attach the valve once you arrive. (sounds easy, but i dont have one in front of me. )
What @WarrenZ said, but I find it easier to hold the tank with two hands and lightly tap the valve knob a couple of times on something wooden (structure, pole, tree, etc.). It doesn’t take much to compress the o-ring for a proper seal. No tools required to install or remove. Taking your own tank will save you a ton of money over time.
When I pack the tank in my checked bag I place a clear bag over the top with a rubber band around the body. This protects the interior and allows TSA to inspect the tank without suspicion. Enjoy your diving.
