My most recent flight (SLC to Denver) in March I filled the pens I wanted to take- this was for about 3-4 days - basically a long weekend. I took about 6 pens. It was more than enough. I took some notes at a meeting while there, wrote a letter or two and still did not come close to using it all. I wrote and or doodled on the plane both directions (it is about a 75 minute flight each way). 2-3 pens were piston fillers the rest cartridge/converter - one had a converter installed. I had the following colors with me: Noodler's Apache Sunset, Diamine Steel Blue, Diamine Sherwood Green, Pilot Black (cartridge), Diamine Classic Red, Akkerman Shocking Blue and at least one Blue Black maybe two. (Diamine and Pelikan 4001) I could have taken half of what I did and been more than fine.

FWIW I've flown through Paris (Orly and CDG), London (Luton, Heathrow, Gatwick), Keflavik, Bangkok, Mumbai, New Delhi, Leh, Athens, and Ibiza, and not had issues with cartridges.

 

Can't speak for US airports.

Too many pens, too little time!

My cousin is also a pen lover.

I think I'll meet her, so I want to show my collection.

P.S.: I'm leaving soon. Yay.

I am not sure how this post helps the OP?

True bliss: knowing that the guy next to you is suffering more than you are.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
