Lighters and matches on Aircraft from Manchester Airport.?

Question

Hello, i was wondering if anybody had information on wheather it is legal to take either matches or a lighter on an aircraft? I know you cannot take lighters in your hand luggage, but what about in your suitcase? Also, i read about safety matches being allowed in your hand luggage, but i'm unsure if this is true. Any help would be really appreciated as i'm a smoker and tomorrow will be my first time flying, so i'm fairly nervous so i will need nicotine as soon as i get off the flight hehe.

Thanks.

Answer 1

you will have to wait and see on the day ,as they keep changing the rules, good luck

Answer 2

The present situation is that it's fine on your person but not in check-in luggage - it keeps changing though...

Answer 3

i fly through here 3 times a year -dont worry just put your lighter in your pocket/handluggage youll be fine-they do often take them off you when u go through security so then u just buy one in the airport shop

Answer 4

1 lighter & 1 pack of saftey matches per person

Answer 5

buy a new one once through security and keep the reciept they should put it in a clear plastic bag and you will be fine... there is loads of people standing outside when you get through i normally catch a light of them lol x have a great time flying x
