Packing drinks in Luggage

[LisaR]

I read the new regulations about flying. It does "suggest" that you do not bring food or drinks in checked luggage, however, it does not say it is prohibited. My kids drink a certain type of "milk" due to dairy allergies. We have been stuck in Florida without their milk more then once. One time a store will have it, the next time they won't. We have spent more then one vacation going from store to store to locate enough cartons to get them through the trip. About a year ago, we started just bringing it with us.

I do not want to be the cause of our flight being delayed because I packed 8 cartons of milk in my checked luggage! Any suggestions? I was thinking of putting the milk in its own seperate piece of luggage so at least if they have to search it, it should be quick since nothing else will be in that bag. I used to pack the cartons in between our clothing for more support. Any other ideas? Thanks!

Can't answer your question, but have you considered shipping a package down to your resort before you leave?

The milk weighs too much to really be cost effective to ship. If it was the only way then I would do it. I guess as long as the drinks really aren't prohibited it won't be a problem. I just hate to get there and find out they have decided to prohibit all food/drinks.

Does netgrocer carry it? You could order it from them and get it delivered.

Or, heck, if they aren't on a bottle just give them some time off from healthy drinks.

Pack it in a bag and take it as a carry on. That's how my jar of peanut butter and other snacks are getting to Orlando!
