If you put lighterfluid in your checked it Luggage(not carry on) will it get confiscated?

Question

I want to take some lighterfluid with me on the plane for my zippo and i just wanted to make sure it wasent going to be confiscated?

Answer 1

Not only confiscated, but you may be arrested as well.

Answer 2

As far as I am aware, you should not be putting anything flammable in your checked or carry on luggage. This includes lighter fluid.

If you read most websites in regards to baggage and dangerous goods, lighter fluid will be listed under things that are forbidden on-board or checked in.

Hope that helps.

*edit* I should mention, the airline you travel with will probably ask you if you have anything flammable in your checked luggage and will more likely than not want to have it removed from your luggage.

Answer 3

It's illegal to carry lighter fluid on any plane, even in checked luggage.  Use a disposable lighter.
