    i think this is the most important part

    Airport security staff will not let anything through that they consider dangerous - even if it’s normally allowed in hand luggage.

    so really they can do what they like

    At 25 for ?13 I just leave them stashed everywhere.
    Awesome, I'll check them out! Thanks

    I think at the pound shop it's 5 for a pound.

    When I travel I take my travel lighter. It's a god send...take a disposable one and this little thing...bit big but works great

    +1 for the Tor-Jet lighters, I use these at home now too.

    Proper Place

    The Coros always travel with a DOT/TSA approved lighter case in stored luggage. Never a problem. I’d post a picture but I can’t find one.

    And for what? No good reason at all... Grrrr...

    The agency we booked with have literature that says do not pack lighters in the hold as there have been incidents where they have exploded. I had 3 lighters in my ruck sack and all was well.

    Sorry to hear this! Hope it wasn't expensive.

    That's why I always travel with a few cheapos scattered around my luggage.
