Can I bring booze on an airplane?

[kanga1]

Like those little travel bottles you can get at the liquor store? Since those would fit in my quart size ziplock can I bring some of those for the airplane?

[tacokick]

Yes

[kanga1]

Thanks for the quick reply!

[Brit]

They call them 'airplane bottles' for a reason, right?

[osumelissa]

Yes definitely.

[Vespasia]

I can't believe I never knew this. Life changing thread!

Yes, but you can't drink them.

This.

Last flight I was on there was a couple sitting across the aisle next to me. They took out a whole 750ml bottle of wine and started drinking it. The fight attendant asked them to cork it because they couldn't drink it on the flight.

I was on a 10-hour trans-Atlantic once, and the guy across the aisle was taking swigs out of a Duty Free bottle of cognac whenever the flight attendants weren't around. When we landed, he left the bottle behind! I don't know if he actually finished it or was just so drunk he forgot it!

@uwhuskygirl and GilliC, I'm a little envious of both of you. Your flights sound much more interesting than most of mine.

lol, don't be. It was an easy jet flight to Amsterdam... and there were also about 10-15 bros on the flight on their way to a bachelor party.

Interesting? Yes. Pleasant? Less so!

He was disrupting the passengers around him, and at one point when he got up to use the lavatory, the girl sitting next to him in the window seat asked if I would mind if she took the empty inside-middle next to me, because she was starting to feel very uncomfortable.

It's also the only flight I've ever been on where people weren't rushing into the aisle to get off the plane. When we landed in Rio, he stood up and was visibly wobbling, and everyone left a huge gap around him and just waited for him to get out of there before getting their bags down.

And this is part of why my new pre-travel well wishes are "May your flight be uneventful!"

Everyone always says, "Have a safe flight!" which sounds like you have some control over it. And since delays, luggage damage, and other nuisances (like the above) are ridiculously more common than safety issues, I decided that "uneventful" was a much better flight wish!

That's some pretty sage shit right there!

This is what we always say, too.  Uneventful flights are the best flights.

I know someone who fills the Five Hour Energy drinks with booze. I suppose it's a handy concealing method.

[fab75]

yes, just stay below 100ml and you will be fine with any liquid (unless it's explosive )!
