Is it OK to pack a bottle of liquor in your luggage? If so, should it go in your carry-on?

You can pack it in the luggage you check, but since 9/11 you can't take it in your carry on....broken bottle = Weapon.


Wrap it well and check it...it should be fine:D

I've carried bottles of wine in my carry on on three different flights since September 11 with absolutely no problems.

I have brought lots of liquor in glass bottles since 9/11 too (we do a lot of Disney cruises, and I bring wine coolers as presents for some of our crew friends). I always bring it in my carry-on and it has always been allowed (although they have inspected the bag pretty carefully). From what they've said a couple of times, they seem to be more concerned with whether it is for our personal consumption during the flight vs. using broken glass as a weapon.

Oh well...sorry for the misinformation...I wasn't able to bring a bottle in my carry-on in May. Maybe different airports have different standards.

I'd call ahead, just to be sure

This is just another example of how these new rules regarding carry-ons are nothing more than window dressing. For example the airlines do not have metal cutlery in first class anymore, but they still have glass dishes and wine glasses.....:rolleyes:

When in doubt, call the airline first... However I will say I had a friend who travelled to Tahiti recently and he had no problem taking a bottle of rum with him so he could make drinks in his room. ;)
