Can you take lighters on a plane?

What it says. I'm flying to the UK from somewhere else on Wednesday and need to know what to do with it/where to put it etc. Apparently 'refill' lighters like Zippo's etc are a big no-no but can I put it in my check-in luggage?

    To the UK from where. That is going to the key to what you seek. If you are flying from one nation to another you will have to check the restrictions in both countries.

    After 9/11 in the US this was a part of the Patriot Act

    ""Consistent with Department of Transportation regulations for hazardous materials, passengers also are permitted to carry no more than four books of matches (other than strike anywhere matches) and no more than two lighters for individual use, if the lighters are fueled with liquefied gas (BIC-or Colibri-type) or absorbed liquid? (Zippo-type).’"

    Edit: Also after the attempted shoe bomber I should note. Who would of blown up the plane if he had a butane lighter.

    Just put it in your hold luggage. Last time I checked (last Summer) lighters weren't allowed on. I got caught trying to take a few novelty ones on a plane when I was 14 and they treated me like a fucking Terrorist. Ruined my holiday as we missed our flight and had to fill out about 5 forms for each of the 4 or so lighters :facepalm:

    In the U.S. they changed the policy a couple of years ago, by the time I got out in 2009 I could carry my lighter on the plane again. I guess they were tired of wasting $14 million dollars a year disposing of collected lighters alone.

    It wasn't last time I went through an airport in late 2008 and early 2009. They might have changed the policy yet again because the TSA is a bunch of douchebags.

    I take snus on the airplanes most of the time. You dont need to spit the tobacco juice out but you can swallow it.
