With my Parker the capillary filling system works extremely well on planes. I find the Namiki pretty leak resistant, with the trap door keeping any spills inside the pen.

These were a Parker 51 Aero Flighter and a Waterman Expert 2000. Both were full before flying and kept in my carry on bag. For extra safety I also carried them in a small zip lock bag. The Parker leaked a little into its cap and required a little cleaning before I could use it. The Waterman had a full cartridge and was fine. Recently I flew with a couple of pens.
