So recently I went to Greece on Holiday. I wanted an fp with me, so I decided to experiment with my new Eco. I inked it full before the flight with Noodlers Black. The nib was kept up during climb to the cruise altitude of ~35,000ft(obviously the cabin pressure has a significantly lower 'altitude'). During the 4hr flight I used the pen in the cruise and saw no leakage in the cap or ink on the nib. After descent and landing into a hot climate (33C) I saw no troubles. After my stay in Greece the pen had been used a fair bit and a good amount of ink had been used (1/3 ish). This is where I was hoping for some leaky fun on the plane. I decided I'd go all out; I'd be brave and go against my morals and my guy instinct. I went nib down. And, well, and. Nothing happened. No spontaneous combustion, no high energy explosion, not even any ink spillage. The TWSBI Eco is a pretty good flyer, and didn't get air sickness and spill everywhere.

Do you have specific pens that you choose to take with you on vacation? At home I tend towards c/c pens, because I like to change ink colors. However, I'm packing for vacation this week and I have my two TWSBI Diamond 540s and my VAC 700 topped up and ready to go. With these three at my side I have no fear of running out of ink on vacation. (Or possibly the rest of the month. The ink capacity of these pens is terrifying.) How about you?
