Where are you, and where will you be flying? If flying to or
inside USA, it's possible you might not be allowed to carry
the pocketknife in your luggage. You must not pack flammables
like lighters or matches into your luggage. You can never
carry any form of knife on a commercial flight.
So basically, you ought to be able to carry on the lighter,
won't be able to carry on the knife, might be able to pack
the knife into your luggage, and can't pack the lighter.
