Can I bring a lighter on a flight to Istanbul in carry-on or checked baggage?

TL;DR
One small standard lighter is usually allowed only on your person, not in checked baggage; the airline and security screening at Istanbul Airport may apply stricter rules. Check your carrier’s baggage conditions before departure.

Check the rules for your exact flight before travelling: baggage allowance and dangerous-goods restrictions depend on the airline, fare type, and whether checked baggage is included in your ticket.

Do not rely on experiences from military or special transport flights: regular international flights to Istanbul follow the commercial airline’s rules and airport security procedures.

A small personal lighter should generally not be packed in checked luggage; if permitted by the airline, keep it on your person. It can still be removed at security, so verify the policy before packing.
