Zippo on a Ryanair flight

[TheJimi]

Seems to be no real definitive answer to this, but can I carry a zippo on a Ryanair flight?

It's not Ryanair or any of the carriers as they don't search you getting on the plane.

It's whatever group of jumped up wheel clampers running the airport security that you have to contend with.

I've had problems with them before, but never disposables.

Dubai took the wadding out, JFK took the lighter, and a couple of others didn't care. I'd rather not lose them so haven't bothered since.

How true, I once set the alarms off at Liverpool John Lennon.

Searched patted down and they couldn't find anything , I was aware why


And told them after they let me go, I was wearing work boots, yes big sodding riggers boots and the stell in the cap and heel had set there alarms off.

I have so much confidence in the guys and gals who protect our airports.

I would recommed East midlands though, very helpful, we were able to talk to a supervisor a few days prior to a flight and he let us on with car parts, we had his name and his mobile number in case he was off duty and one of his menials kicked off

I don't know why people think the security staff make the rules about what you can and can't carry on an aircraft.

^ if you were 'aware' why didn't you say instead of trying to be a smartarse and probably holding people like me up? Silly man.

Maybe not but Interpreting them seems to be beyond them. Look at the Brightly coloured "ray gun" taken off a child at LBA. Yes I'm sure somebody will mistake it for a real gun.

Why not? Although I think you'll need an extra seat

Yes indeed, going through security without removing steel toecap boots.

How would you feel if one of us was at your work being purposefully awkward? Why would you even leave steel toe cap boots on through security? Probably trying to cause the scanners to go off on purpose...
