Have you ever flown with these in your luggage?You can get the CO2 cartridges pretty cheaply; buy for around 50p each or less if you buy in bulk.

You can't fly with the CO2 cartridges. Hence saying about the OP being in the UK. I'd expect that you could buy some at the destination if its not an island.
In use they're great. I have a two cartridge SMB. Trigger the first and can hold it at depth. Once checked that all's clear and you're holding the reel correctly, trigger the second cartridge and release the SMB.
Particularly good with a rebreather as there's no filling malarkey. On OC, the ascent's much easier so you can use your drysuit inflate and re-attach it at the first stop.

“Smart” Marker Buoy (SMB) — XS Scuba - Everything For The Perfect Dive
With so many SMBs in the marketplace, it is easy to become confused. Some are “bare bones” proving difficult to use, while others are overbuilt, more suited for extreme expeditions. The XS Scuba Smart Marker Buoy (SMB) adds all the right features in all the right places. It’s the “Smart” choice.

Here's two extra WAN KERs
Where did you purchase yours from?
Extreme Exposure in High Springs. They have an online shop in addition to their brick & mortar shop. I’ve also seen them at some of the shops in Palm Beach County.
