Flying with your lighter?

Zach, The tranzpacks are a must for traveling because they remove any doubt, as long as they're in you're checked bags. I could have lent you one. They'll fit 2 lighters if you remove the foam ring.

They eased the ban on common cigarette lighters such as bics in carry on bags but play it safe and empty the fuel and keep it in your carry on. Carry on some match books for emergency smokes. Before I had the tranzpacks, I stashed torch lighters in my checked bags (in toiletries kit, inside shoes, etc.) and never had one confiscated even though the bags were searched by the TSA.

When I travel I put my lighter in a pocket of my jeans in my checked baggage. Plus, I don't recommend bringing your favorite lighter either. I have a cheaper travel torch lighter that I use. Have not lost it but don't want to take any chances.

I just through a bic in my backpack and carry it on. Since they changed the rules and now allow you to carry on soft flame lighters I have not had a problem.

I kind of like lighting cigars with matches, but it can be a pain in the casino and touching up the wrapper with matches kind of sucks.
