The amount of writing you get out of a single fill of a fountain pen varies pretty heavily, to be honest. I got about one and a half days' worth of really, really intensive note-taking out of one fill of my Lamy Safari, while my lovely new Metropolitan seems to have a much smaller reservoir.

On the subject of travelproofing or being pocket friendly, I've literally worn one of a Safari, a Faber-Castell Basic, a Scheaffer 100, or a Pilot Metropolitan in a breast pocket every day for a year, and the only place I've ever gotten ink that wasn't on the page was a bit on my hands while refilling. They've traveled with me by bus, car, and plane, and no ink spills yet.
