Pilot Double Reservoir Demonstrator Fountain Pen

Dear Pen Lovers,

Do you face the same two problems I commonly have with fountain pens when i travel?

1) Not knowing how much ink is left in the pen and how long can it last when you are outstation overseas. As a result you have to bring along ample ink cartridges (Bad luck if you pen uses only a converter) or bring along a bottle of ink and risk having the bottle breaks and spilling all the ink on your clothes in the luggage?
2) The ink leaks from the pen nib your as a result of air pressure when the plane takes off?
