The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) prohibits all lighters, including BIC lighters, from being transported in checked luggage.
Reason:
Lighters are considered potential fire hazards and are therefore prohibited from being checked.
Alternatives:
* Carry-on luggage: You can carry a lighter in your carry-on luggage, but it must be placed in a quart-sized, clear, resealable plastic bag, along with other liquids, gels, aerosols, and pastes.
* Purchase at your destination: If you need a lighter at your destination, you can purchase one there.
Note: Regulations may vary depending on the airline and your destination country. It is always best to check with the airline and the relevant authorities for the most up-to-date information.
