Are there any regulations that ban these from the cargo area because of the different pressures?
The one I plan to send will contain ice and be properly packaged.
Thanks for any help you can offer, but please don't guess -- I can guess.

yes. we ship thousands of glass flasks through fedex. they are in a padded samsonite suitcase and are filled with atmospheric air. the package says fragile and no special permits are needed. its high pressure cylinders and/or flammable content containers that are banned on "commercial" flights. cargo is different and paperworkgets a lot done.

Yes it is, there is no issue with a sealed container in this case the actual pressure differences are very small compared to atmospheric pressure and vacum flasks are more than adequate of dealing with it. They are no different than a can of pop or a bottle of water.

The cabin pressure in an aircraft is lower than atmospheric. If your flask can withstand the pressure on ground, sure it can withstand it in air.
