Doesn't IO sell salt in boxes now? If so, you could take it out of the box, as it would be in a bag, then you could flatten it out. But again, what if you get caught, they would not believe it was salt at first. Could cause you alot of grief to save a few bucks.

I think even in a sealed pail...they hear a bunch of granules/powder rolling about in it and you might be in for some hassle.

My bathroom scale isn't super accurate but one weighed just a hair over 50 lbs on it... If you do manage to bring one on the plane let us know. Its something I've thought about doing many times before as well. My concern would be the airline luggage handlers accidentally smashing it...

IO salt locally costs $100.00 per pail.
Previously I dealt with this through neglecting water changes but now I am going more SPS so I guess some water changes would be a good idea. I will put the bucket of salt in a duffel bag. I will bring along an extra container so it if weighs a few pounds over the limit I will carry some of the salt in my other piece of luggage.

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.
