To answer your question, wouldn't the lower pressure in the cargo hold cause a carbonated beverage in an aluminum can to explode? I once visited some friends who make the best homemade jam. They gave me a couple of jars to take home. I packed them very securely in my checked bag for the flight home, but when I opened up the suitcase, the jam had leaked out all over my clothes. Not a pretty sight.

Oh, and with or without the soda, have a great trip. Bermuda is a place I've always wanted to visit. :)

What about the weight restrictions for checked luggage? Soda is not lightweight!

I just hope <i> lilypoo </i> comes back here and tells us how she got that soda into Bermuda.
You know...enquiring minds <i><b>do</b></i> want to know! *-:)

Lilypoo,
Are you back from Bermuda yet? Did you do a Trip Report? How was it?

I'd actually really like to know if you can pack soda can safely in luggage. Carry-on or cargo. Sometimes you find a cool foreign soda that you want people at home to try- personally I take a (plastic) bottle of Guarana home every time I visit Brazil. I love it! And what about beer bottles? I'm not worried about the mess, I can clean it up, but I don't have much space in my carry-on usually.
