Dupont Lighter In Check-In Luggage

[hands22]

Thanks to all who replied. I think I will carry the lighter in my pocket and that should be fine.

I am flying by Jetstar next week and I think I got my confirmation that it's ok to carry a butane lighter onboard and not hidden inside a checked luggage. This from their website on dangerous goods-

Smokers are permitted to carry Safety matches (one small packet) or a cigarette lighter. These are only permitted to be carried in your pocket (not in your carry-on or checked baggage). Passengers are reminded that smoking in the aircraft at any time is strictly prohibited.

Cheers!

would someone explain why I cant carry scissors or a nail file on a plane ( Too dangerous ! ) ?

Because they are anxious of me. Once one security began to play with MY little nail clipper (swiss made). I at once slapped his hand and took it away. He did not like me any more and disappeared...
