You CAN bring a zippo lighter in your carry on baggage, as long as it it not a torch-style lighter. It is ctually recommended that you bring it in your carry on baggage, as it has a higher chance of exploding in the un-pressurised cabin where your luggage is stored.

Katherin is wrong and Holl is 100% correct. You can indeed bring your Zippo oil fueled lighter on board. I do not think you can however bring the Zippo Blu butane on board.

No you can’t bring nothing like that on the airplane now the people are strict at the airport.

As per the TSA website:
You may take up to 2 fueled Zippo lighters in your checked baggage if they are properly enclosed in a DOT approved case. You can bring unlimited quantities of unfueled lighters in your checked baggage. If you are uncertain as to whether your lighter is prohibited, please refrain from bringing it to the airport.http://www.tsa.gov/
