Just one curiosity..I had always thought that naked flames were not allowed on board aircraft so was wondering how they'll get it back. Unless this particular flame gets some sort if dispensation?

Thanks, as always, FTers for the wisdom!
They'll blow it out once on board, and light it again when they land. No one will know (other than us FTs).
