Re: Gas curling tongs
no,unless the tongs are minus the gas cartridge!! i brought back gas tongs(no cartridges) last year with me.banned substance (gas) on flights and also in containers (furniture coming over) so gas cartridges are a no no.cant get gas cartridges anywhere in perth metro that i found.my hairdresser hadnt even heard of them,we live in regional wa 4hour drive from perth.just have to use electric ones.

Re: Gas curling tongs
Just a mention to you aasmith, I walked for seemingly miles traipsing about to find a gas cartridge for my mum in law and no one seemd to know anything about them BUT we did have success in the end in Rockingham shopping centre so if you still need some gas...

Re: Gas curling tongs
I've never heard of gas curling tongs or seen them, so what is better about them than electric?

Re: Gas curling tongs
oops should have been 5 1/2 hours!!.gas ones heat really quick,no cord to get tangled,move around while doing your hair,could use them to touch up hair while in the car i suppose.
if overseas wouldnt need adaptor to plug into socket.still cant fathom that australian(department stores etc)really dont know about them.

Re: Gas curling tongs
we have been on Emerates site and they say "Hair curlers containing hydrocarbon gas, one (1) per person or crew member, provided that the safety cover is securely fitted over the heating element, these hair curlers must not be used on board the aircraft at any time,gas refills for such curlers are not permitted in checked or carry-on baggege".
