YES
A fueled Zippo windproof lighter is permitted in the passenger cabin.
In August 2007, the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) lifted the ban on the Zippo windproof lighter from inside passenger cabins of commercial aircraft. The lighter can contain lighter fluid.
YES
Previously fueled Zippo windproof lighters can be stowed in checked luggage.
In June 2005, the Department of Transportation (DOT) issued an exemption for previously fueled Zippo lighters in checked luggage. The ruling allows passengers to pack up to two previously fueled Zippo pocket lighters – in an approved case – in checked luggage aboard all commercial airlines. The Zippo Cargo Case and Zippo Air Case (ZAC) are both approved cases. To order, visit zippo.com.
