Balls!
Ok. Bought a number of australian rules footballs to take back to the UK for Christmas presents and a friend has just said you can't take them on the 'plane inflated. Was planning on taking them inside hand luggage. But will I be refused and have to spend half an hour in the check-in queue jumping up and down on the buggers to get the air out.?

We tried to take an American football back through Canada and they deflated it at the airport. Hubbie was none too impressed as we did not have a pump at home.

I know what you mean, but not worried about the space as there are 5 of us to share them between. Just thought they'd look better inflated and can't guarantee anyone will have the correct gubbins to blow them back up again. Hey ho.

We leave Christmas day. Change at Perth. Deb invited us for a drink but they won't let us leave the airport.:curse: Frightened we might scare the wildlife or something...
I know, going to spend the whole time selloptaped to a radiator.

Re: Balls!
They don't let people from Adelaide leave the airport due to the infectious diseases they carry.
