- Smokers may be pleased to learn that you can now carry what the TSA calls “common lighters” on board. In other words, a plastic BIC lighter is acceptable, but leave the butane or torch lighters like your dad’s old Zippo in your checked baggage, or even at home. Lighters with fuel are prohibited in checked bags, unless they adhere to the Department of Transportation exemption, which allows up to two fueled lighters if properly enclosed in a DOT approved case. Disposable and Zippo lighters without fuel are allowed in checked bags.
- Absorbed liquid and butane lighters are limited to one lighter per passenger in carry-on or on one’s person. When a carry-on bag is checked at the gate or at planeside, any lighter in the carry-on must be removed from the bag and kept with the passenger in the aircraft cabin.
- A lighter that is truly empty (absolutely no fuel residue or vapors) is not regulated by the DOT as a hazardous material. There is no limit on how many empty lighters you may carry; however, carrying multiple empty lighters could cause delays at security screening checkpoints.
- The following items are banned for carriage on person/hand baggage on board flights operating from civil airports in India; and Indian Registered aircrafts from foreign airports: Sharp Objects, Sporting Goods, Guns and Firearms, Tools, Martial Arts / Self Defense Items, Explosive Materials.
- Most lighters contain enough metal components to be picked up by metal detectors, so those likely won’t present much of a challenge.
- You can only carry one lighter on board. You should put it inside a resealable plastic bag (like the ones used for liquids), which you must keep on you throughout the flight.
- Items you shouldn’t pack in your checked luggage: Prescription medications, Passports and travel documents, Electronics, such as video game systems and computers, Cameras (camera film, including Polaroid film, should be hand-checked by TSA agents so it doesn’t go through the X-ray machine), Jewelry and other valuable items.
- The TSA prohibits containers with more than 3.4 ounces of liquid in carry-on luggage, so if you have a liquid or semi-liquid antiperspirant, be sure to check the quantity on the container. For example, many stick deodorants and antiperspirants come in sizes under 3.4 ounces, so it’s fine to bring in your carry-on bag.
- Congress decided to stop air travelers from carrying lighters aboard after Richard Reid used matches to try to light explosives hidden in his shoes while on a Paris-to-Miami flight in 2001. Lawmakers worried that Reid might have succeeded if he had had a lighter. The lighter ban took effect in April 2005.
- Cigarettes and other tobacco products are allowed in both carry-on and checked baggage. However, be aware of the regulations regarding smoking on the specific airline and any restrictions on the country you are traveling to.
