Yes, I took an inflatable lifejacket to the us last year without any issue there or back. Are all the lifejackets in the plane not already compressed gas versions?

Deodorant canisters are allowed so long as they go in your checked in baggage, so I'd imagine your lifejacket would be allowed also.

Obviously it couldnt be part of your carry on luggage, but then I guess you know that already.

Noel would you mind taking a little package over for me. Only small and nothing to worry about;)
