Again, be very careful with check-in luggage weight limits. Adding a lot of beer to your check-in bag is a sure way to go over the 50 lb weight limit that is common for checked bags.
However, you are not allowed to serve it to yourself. This rule is in place so that air stewards can decide if someone has had too much to drink and refuse to serve them any more. You could also pack a bottle of liquor inside a dry bag which can be useful for storing more than just wine.
Failing that, pack your bottle surrounded by the most fluffy voluminous clothes you have like a sweater and hope for the best. Any alcohol must go inside your quart-sized liquids bag.
For checked luggage you can bring unlimited low strength alcohol like beer or wine. You can bring up to 5 liters of liquor. Strong flammable liquor is banned from carryon and checked baggage.
A quart bag is ml. So you might be able to fit 7 or 8 mini alcohol bottles in a quart bag. You can bring small amounts of your own alcohol on a plane packing inside your liquids bag. The bottles must be under 3. But you are not permitted to pour and drink those mini alcohol bottles yourself while on the plane. Here are our suggestions for packing your own beer and wine for travel. The first step to traveling with beer and wine is knowing whether or not you can bring it through security as a carry-on or if it will need to be checked and travel in the cargo hold.
As anyone who has traveled on a plane in the last few years knows, the TSA has strict rules about flying with liquids. That pertains to alcoholic liquids as well.
For carry-on, you can only bring bottles that are less than 3. But in checked bags, you can bring up to 1. Another thing to keep in mind is the alcohol content. Otherwise, for up to 1. Of course, you always have the option of purchasing beer or wine at post-security airport bottle shops, which you can carry on the plane as-is. The ideal piece of luggage should have a rigid, hard-sided structure. Bags with collapsible walls, such as duffels, are not suited for transporting such delicate cargo.
Aside from a heavy-duty suitcase, you also want to make sure the bottle or cans are safely wrapped up and packaged. First off, let us assure you of one thing: Your beer and wine, even if they are carbonated and contain bubbles like sparkling wines, will not explode during your flight.
But accidents can still happen. Your bag could be jostled around too much, a baggage handler could throw it too hard, or, if you travel with soft or fabric suitcases, heavier luggage could land on top of it and break fragiles inside.
That being said, cans and glass bottles both travel differently. Customs, for example, only allows for 1 liter of alcohol to be carried into the United States duty-free.
Other countries like Kuwait forbid passengers from carrying alcohol in the country entirely. Be sure to check the local laws of your destination before packing alcohol in your suitcase.
If you have a connecting flight and need to pass through a TSA security checkpoint, your bags are once again subject to carry-on restrictions, which means anything over the 3. To be safe, be sure to purchase your duty-free alcohol at the last airport you visit before arriving in your final destination to avoid losing it at a security checkpoint.
That may just be why flight attendants serve alcohol — but they are the only ones who can serve alcohol on the plane.
One of the main reasons is that your flight attendants are basically on bartender duty and need to keep your libations to a safe level. Stick to what the flight attendants serve you and wait to crack into your stash until you get to your destination. The first step is to start with bottles that have never been opened.
Then, place the bottle in a sealable plastic bag. In case the bottle does break, the bag will help contain the alcohol and keep it from spilling on your other belongings. After placing the bottle in a bag, wrap the bottle to give it extra cushioning for the trip. Towels, sweaters, pants and shirts are good options. See: Baggage Allowance Info. To our knowledge this is the only airline who has such a policy. Your final set of regulations of how much alcohol you can bring with you, comes by way of import laws set by the country you are entering.
Many people confuse duty-free limits with overall limits on bringing in alcohol into a given country. In general, most countries permit you to bring in alcohol over the duty-free limit, but you may or may not have to pay the associated duties and taxes, depending on how strict the country and its customs officers are.
Duty-free and overall limits vary by country and even individual state or province within countries like Canada and the US. Each country typically has a duty-free alcohol allowance, where the alcohol is not subject to any duties, tariffs, or taxes, and allows an additional quantity which is subject to duty and taxes.
Please note that this duty and taxes may, but often is not actually collected. Also please note that in almost all cases you must be of legal drinking age in the country you are bringing alcohol into. Although the language on the U. Canadian duties and taxes are assed based on the province one is landing into from abroad and can range significantly from province to province. Please note that this does not mean the province of final destination.
For example if one lands in Ontario and has a connecting flight to the final destination of Alberta, duties and taxes will be assessed using Ontario regulations. Currently, Alberta has the lowest alcohol duties and taxes, while British Columbia has the highest. When bringing over 2. Mexico allows up to 6 litres of wine, sparkling, and beer duty-free. It allows up to 3 litres of liquor duty-free. See: Declarations Entering Mexico. Any amounts over the above will be liable for Customs duty and goods and services tax GST.
