Yes, you can take one lighter with you onto the plane, they can include:
Survival firelighters are not restricted as they do not contain fuel and do not in themselves generate a flame.
The number and size of lighters are restricted as they contain highly volatile fuel that has low combustion thresholds to limit the harm to passengers and crew if they were to be damaged.
Blue flame lighters are forbidden due to the intensity of the heat they generate. They operate like a small blow torch.
You will be asked to relinquish all dangerous or prohibited items found in your carry-on luggage. If you refuse:
AvSec x-ray bags going onto aircraft to ensure there is nothing dangerous in them. If something comes up on the x-ray that needs checking, the bag will be opened, searched and any dangerous good or prohibited item will be removed, with a bag search notification form left within the bag.
If you want to retrieve an item that has been removed, please contact your airline as soon as possible. The airline will dispose of items within three to seven days, so the sooner you make contact, the better your chance of having the items returned to you. For more information, see:
