    There is nothing in the gov't guidelines or any of the airlines lists to state that airbeds wouldn't be allowed in checked baggage. The only problem might be if the pump is an electric one as these can be fairly big and heavy and it might show up as something suspicious should the bag be x-rayed before it's loaded.
    If it is electric, it would be worth mentioning it to the check in staff.

    If it's one of the plastic foot pumps then I can't see why there should be any problem.

    It's an electric pump, and thanks for your advice. I will mention to the check in staff.

    I've never taken the air bed abroad before now, but we are staying with friends abroad, and the double air bed is perfect for my two under six nephews Thanks again

    As long as the item you're taking doesn't relyh of the use of any integral gas cannisters to inflate it, as if the case with many life jackets, you should be fine.
