Now that's interesting - did you guys know that we're still allowed to carry them including on international flights when carried on one's person:

Description Below

Safety matches or a lighter with fuel/fluid fully absorbed in a solid and intended for use by an individual when carried on one's person. However, lighters with a flammable liquid reservoir containing unabsorbed liquid fuel (other than liquefied gas), lighter fuel and lighter refills are not permitted on one's person nor in checked or carry-on baggage.

Note: "Strike anywhere" matches are forbidden for air transport.


Cheers,

Allan
