Can You Now Bring Lighters On Airplanes?

[dyanalee]

I was wondering if the airlines have relaxed their rules on taking lighters or matches on the plane? We have not flown in several years.

 

Thanks, in advance for any info! :)

Just returned from a flight to Mexico and had 2 in my carry-on....no problems.

Why bother?

 

You can't smoke on domestic flights.

Well security is still very tight at all airports.I was not even allowed to bring a lip balm on board.....

I hope you asked this question with'tongue in Cheek':D

Any airline web site will give you a prohibited items list.

Hope this helps........Kruisey:)

Two regular lighters or one book of safety matches in your carry-on. Virtually nothing in checked bags. Here is the curent TSA rules - http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm#9

Two lighters are allowed in carry-on, but that only includes the standard butane lighters (Bic, etc) Zippos (or other liquid fuel lighters) and Torch lighters are still prohibited. I lost a torch lighter because I didn't read the rules close enough. They offered the Mail Drop service to mail it back to myself, but that cost twice as much as the lighter was worth.

 

And none of them can go in checked luggage.

Airline passengers will be allowed to bring most cigarette lighters on board again starting August 4.

Lighters and matches are ok, but we still must remove our shoes.

 

Lighter bombs good, shoe bombs bad.

 

It's a crazy world!!!:confused:

that is of last year. Lighters are now allowed, just not the torch type as mentioned earlier.

Thats sort of a lame response, maybe they need it AFTER then land?? :rolleyes:

 

I would check with the Airline and find out exactly what you can bring, just to be safe.

I just flew last week and had no problem with my lighters. One was in my carry on and one was in my pocket.
