Habitué à avoir son stylo plume préféré à portée de main en permanence, il est parfois difficile de le laisser en voyage d'affaires ou même en vacances. Malheureusement, nous avons tous constaté les effets des variations de pression en cabine sur les produits de toilette de voyage. Vous avez raison de craindre que l'encre de votre stylo ne se répande sur vos bagages pendant le transport. Poursuivez votre lecture pour en savoir plus sur les stylos plume en voyage, grâce à nos passionnés.

Faites le plein avant votre vol
Vous pouvez emporter un stylo-plume en avion, selon la quantité d'encre qu'il contient. Un stylo-plume plein ne fuira pas, car il n'y a pas d'air susceptible de se dilater et de perturber l'encre. C'est pourquoi emporter un vieux stylo-plume partiellement rempli risque fort de salir vos bagages.
La façon dont vous portez votre stylo est importante
Lorsque l'on voyage avec un stylo-plume, le principal problème est le débordement d'encre dû aux variations de pression en cabine. Ce phénomène est dû à la capillarité et à la gravité.
Vous pouvez transporter un stylo-plume dans vos bagages. Vous pouvez le transporter à condition que la plume soit pointée vers le haut. La gravité et toute autre pression ne feront pas sortir l'encre du stylo si la plume est pointée vers le haut. Si vous ne pouvez pas le faire, je vous conseille de vider votre stylo ou de le laisser simplement.
Trois façons sûres de voyager avec un stylo plume
Si vous avez l'intention de voyager avec un stylo-plume, vous avez trois choix simples pour garder le stylo et vos autres biens en sécurité pendant le vol :
- Chargez votre stylo au maximum d'encre, en ne laissant aucune place à l'air.
- Retirez toute l’encre de votre stylo.
- Conservez votre stylo encré dans un récipient bien fermé.

I have an old glass jar to carry all pens while travelling. With the lid screwed on, no problems whatsoever…

When I travel, I leave my ink and converters at home and strictly use disposable cartridges. They are super cheap and I have no guilt tossing one that is half-full prior to flying.

Ian Schon of Schon Design, creator of the Pocket 6, claims to have created a fountain pen that is sealed so well, that leaks on an airplane will not happen. Would love to hear from someone whose tested this out. Wouldn’t it be awesome to have a pen that can deal with cabin pressure variations without the need to do anything special? His pens are a little beyond what I’d want to spend, but I’d do it if I could be confident a Pocket 6 could be my airplane pen that doesn’t leak? Ian, maybe you could weigh in on this topic. I know your background is in mechanical engineering, so your input on this topic would be great!

I agree with Robert Ellis. Have flown dozens of times with fountain pen wrapped in a paper towel inside a ziplock bag (quart size). Never had a problem.

I’ve done all three — usually #1 (filling the pen completely); I also bring refills — sample vials are GREAT for that BTW because they’re convenient and if you put a few in a ziplock bag they’re at hand if you need or want to write or draw something while mid-flight.). I had less trouble with sample vials than I did with my facial cleanser and toner - which got confiscated because they were more than 4 oz. - in carry on-luggage. But nobody ever batted an eye over a half dozen ink samples in my purse….

Waterman’s Safety Pen solved the problem years ago.
I would buy a replica if they made one.

Another option is to use a pen with a cartridge and simply remove the cartridge before traveling.

I wrap the upper portion of the pens in paper towels, place them in a plastic bag in a zipper pen case and make sure they are nibs up. I take them in carry-on. It may be overkill, but it works. If you put them in carry-on there is no way to control nib orientation.
