How to fly with liquid
You have just bought bottle of whiskey, or prestigious moisturizing cream. Can you take it with you to the plane at all, or you will need to leave it behind? New safety regulations, due to fear of terror, have changed the rules of purchase and equipment that we can board on flights. So what can We get to the airplane and where can we buy it? Here are the rules.
The first cardinal rule needed to guide you in most cases, is that if you are buying something on the airport duty-free shop, you can take it with you on the plane. How ever, in a check we did in July 2009, there are 4 exceptions: the United States, Canada, Australia & New Zealand. Those 4 countries will allow you to enter with just 100 cc of liquids, even if the bottle is a duty-free shop’s.
flying with liquid – ask the sellers
In any case, if there is no such option – the duty-free seller, at the store, should tell you. We got worned on a flight from Bangkok to Sydney.
When we write here duty-free shop, we mean only for duty-free shop at the airport or on the plane – duty-free shop of the airline. A tax-free shop in the city, are a different story. You wont be able to take Liqueur you bought before the check in zone, as a hand Luggage.
The reason is of course – safety. If you are buying a bottle of whiskey or a fine quality face cream at the airport duty-free shop, the product will be packed and will be waiting for you at the boarding gate, minutes before the plane take off. Then, the airline knows that the product was purchased in duty-free shop and is safe, and not containing for example, any chemical materials that will allow you to make a bomb over the ocean.
carry on liquids – in suitcase
It is important to know – is it getting tricky if this is not a direct flight. For example, if you fly to Los Angeles via Paris, you can pick up a bottle as you embark from your home airport, butonce you get out at the airport Charles de Gaulle, the bottle is no longer sterile, and you can’t take it to the next flight from Paris to Los Angeles .
But, before you decide to purchase the goods solely at the duty-free shop at the airport, or on the plane, it’s important to know that there is also a solution to purchase products out side the airport.ut there are also risks, if you are not experts in packaging. The solution is sending a product – a bottle of drink, a prestigious perfume or any other liquid, with the suitcases you deliver at the check in point. Thus, you will meet your bottle only when you reach your final destination.
again – It is recommended only for those who have confidence in theirs packing ability.
