Hahah!!! That would make for an interesting nose full.

How about this, instead of sneaking it on, and getting caught, breaking some laws and getting in trouble. Maybe???

Call the airlines and ask them. I am sure they will work with you if it is part of your luggage. You never know salt could build a bomb, if mixed with vodka, mouthwash and hairspray.

i would think the airline ticket would cost more than 100 bucks but i guess if your going anyways. personally i buy my instant ocean salt from petsmart for 49.99 and on sale for 39.99 if i catch the sale.

I plugged a pail into Jlaquatics website and it comes up to $78 shipped to Sherwood Park, Alberta incl. taxes and freight. Maybe you should see what it costs through them before buying locally again.

I'm not sneaking it on, just putting it into my duffel bag which is my normal luggage I use anyways. There are no laws against putting aquarium salt mix into your checked luggage. J & L charges $93.00 for one pail of salt shipped to me. Up to now I have never bought salt locally just had people bring salt up when they are driving here. Anyway I will put it in my duffel bag and see how it goes. I don't have the greatest experience dealing with Air Canada so I am not keen on phoning to ask their permission as they are right up there with Telus and Rogers in terms of abusive customer service.

I always just ship the pail as luggage. Usually comes to just under 50lbs. I think my last one came to around 49lbs? Its fine, just have them tag it as heavy and tape the lid real good so it doesn't open.

Thanks.
