Can I fly with Meths?

[FLV]

As titled really. Going to teneriffe for a wee bit of bikepacking, want to take my meths stove and therefore meths to power it. If I pack it in the bike bag with my bike will that be allowed or will I get my bike taken away?

Check the Ts&Cs with the carrier as they differ between airlines. I know camping gas isn't allowed (although I can't see why as aerosols are).

[FLV]

"21.1 Items which are likely to endanger the aircraft or persons or property on board the aircraft, such as those specified in the Dangerous Goods Regulations of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) including but not limited to gas cylinders, flammable liquids and solids, poisons, radio active material, corrosives, firearms and explosives , shall not be accepted for transportation in the hold or cabin compartment without Our express prior consent"

That would be a no then

Jolly good. I only want to make coffee in a morning with it out there :D

Aparently I should vist a ferreteria, which is a hardware store. I'm sure I'll get something there.

Hope to see some pics from Tenerife, looks good for exploring.

Tip, if you can't find meths and end up trying naptha in a pop-can stove in a hotel bathroom the night before a trip.. just be careful ) particularly if they have a towel stack above the bath ...
