Tip for MF on fountain pens - you can fly without leak problems (typing this as I’m about to take off with two FPs). The big tip: store them nib-facing-up in flight. For me, that takes care of 95% of leaking and is all I do these days. To go further: fill the pen all the way before flying, purchase a pen with an on/off valve, or use a traveling inkwell and empty pens before flying.
I don’t write with them ON the plane - for that I use a standard pen or pencil.
