Which type of fountain pen is best at flying?

Lately, I've expanded my involvement in fountain pen hobbyism, and I am also taking a handful of flights this summer. I've found a handful of blog posts here & there about which fountain pens are best at flying, but none went into much detail or included photos- so, why not try it myself?

These are the pens I'm going to be taking with me:

The papermate is a ballpoint, and will serve as a control, the Cross is my daily-use pen & I've taken it on planes before with no issue. The other two are new to me, I'm sure the regular cartridge will be fine, and the eyedropper will be the most awkward. At least, that's what one of the blog posts said.

Anyway, I'll reblog this from myself with updates post-flight.
