Dewar Transport

Following recent issues with some transport dewars being refused as hand or hold luggage at Lyon and Grenoble airports, we would like to remind users who intend to travel to the ESRF with their sample dewars on the plane that the dewars cannot be taken onto the plane as hand luggage, and will only be accepted in the hold as long as the dewars and the cases in which they are contained conform to IATA regulations. Transport cases that do not conform to IATA regulations include mushroom shipping containers. The ESRF will no longer provide airport forms for dewars transported in containers that do not conform to these regulations.
