In a functional fountain pen, you just have to snap the ink cartridge or converter into place. Maybe give it a little shake and the ink should flow through the nib and onto the paper. With some pens, you may have to inject ink directly into the pen but this is rare. If you have ensured that the ink supply is secured and nib still stays dry, you will have to remove any blockage that has accumulated inside the pen. There are quite a few fountain pen cleaning solutions that can be purchased online and the pens can be cleaned out with water as long as they are dried immediately. In general, fountain pens are very reliable tools that simply need to be maintained to last a lifetime. Just add ink and it should write with more fluidity than any ballpoint pen.

Why does a fountain pen leak at high altitude?
I don't know this as a fact, but this makes sense to me: Fountain pens work on a capillary action system, with only tiny amounts of force applied to the ink to make it go down to the nib. When you go up to a high altitude, suddenly pressure decreases, and the pressure in the pen relative to the outside becomes much higher. Seeking to equalize pressure, the ink starts coming out faster.
