I train first responders on SCBA maintnence and often travel with tanks, as long as I don't have a valve in it, I have never had a problem. Just flew back from a confrence in CA on American Airlines. Had 5 tanks in 2 bags and no issues at all.
We never had problems with AA either. Just flew with 4 40's and 6 2L Carbon's.
Divers need to check with individual airlines on their policy BEFORE making reservations.
