  • Airline Passengers and Lighters FAQ's, November 2013
    Airline Passengers and Lighters Frequently Asked Questions The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) enforces the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Hazardous Materials Regulations in aviation. This includes safety rules on how airline passengers can carry lighters. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) enforces security rules about what passengers can carry on the aircraft. The FAA guidance below considers both DOT and TSA rules for passengers carrying lighters. Q1. What type of lighter can I bring onto the aircraft? A1. Under DOT rules (49 CFR 175.10), when traveling on a commercial airline, you can bring one (1) lighter that uses a flammable gas (butane) or that uses a flammable liquid that is absorbed in a lining (Zippo-type). The following restrictions apply: • For safety reasons, permitted lighters must be in your carry-on or on your person (in your pocket), not in checked baggage. See Q2. regarding special travel containers that allow lighters in checked baggage. • Under TSA regulations, torch lighters (a.k.a. jet lighters, blue flame lighters, cigar lighters) are forbidden in your carry-on or on your person. TSA rules also prohibit lighters that look like guns or other weapons. • Containers of lighter fluid or gas (butane) are forbidden in carry-on and checked baggage. • Micro torches, chef torches, utility torches, etc., are not considered lighters and are forbidden in carry-on and checked baggage. Fuel for such torches is also forbidden in carry-on and checked baggage. Q2. Is there any exception to the “one lighter only” rule or the “no torch lighters” rule? A2. You can bring up to two (2) additional lighters—including torch lighters—in your checked baggage when you use DOT-approved airtight travel containers for lighters.
