Good practice to put the fountain pens in a ziploc bag. They are most apt to leak when taking off and landing, when the pressure change is greatest. Don't try to use them during takeoff and landing. If you carry extra ink vials, they should go in your liquids bag. I don't think the cartridges are an issue. It can also help to have the pens standing up instead of lying flat during flight. I personally haven't had a problem with leaking during flying, but keep them in a plastic bag to be sure.. Goulet pens has a video on flying with pens that is helpful.
I've packed fountain pens on my carry on while flying before. Nothing happened. Although I have read it's best to have the pen filled. Hope you have an amazing time. Can't wait to see the spreads when you get back!
@@julia-here thanks for your answer. So you got it giftet. Hobby Lobby is American right? I am in Germany 🥴 it has no brand label on it? That’s a pity. It’s nearly perfect
I will check for a brand (I'm out of town for the week), but I don't think there is one; just an in-house product (yes, Hobby Lobby is American). I wasn't even able to find a photo of it online. It's a shame because it's really a great little case.

I have that same pouch got it years ago at hobby lobby, love mine
@@rebeccaebel2371 Omg, I haven't seen it anywhere else ever and totally forgot where I got it; I think it was indeed Hobby Lobby 🙌🏽, thank you!
Love that bag. Can you maybe name the brand of the zipper bag?
I’ve looked everywhere for it online but I couldn’t find anything (and I got it a few years ago) but it’s from Hobby Lobby.

@@julia-here thank you ☺️
I am having the same problem with using Regular or Passport. 😅
It’s such a struggle! I’ve yet to use my passport size for any type of journaling/memory keeping but it’s working great as a wallet this year!
