I'm taking a flight to visit family for a week and would like to take some pens. Pens I bring will need to be full since I do not want to fly with ink bottles.
I have successfully flown with my Esterbrooks and TWSBIs filled, stored nib up, and not uncapped in flight so they will be making the trip.
But I have a couple other pens I'd like to bring but I'm not sure if they are considered "safe to fly." I don't want a leaky, inky mess because of the clean up but mostly because I won't be bringing ink to put back in the pen.
I have two Edison Nouveau Premieres and a Stipula Passaporto that I fill with an eyedropper. Will they make it through the flight without burping? I always felt like it was probably not a good idea to fly with ED pens but I may be wrong.
Are all Parker 51s engineered to not leak in the air or is that just the flighter models?
Thoughts on flying with an Ahab? I guess as long as it is completely full it wouldn't be troublesome.
I would think I'd be safe with a Lamy 2K since the piston filler TWSBIs fly well.
Any advice would be greatly welcomed.
:cool:
