There is no limit as far as getting on the plane, you can board with as many/much as you want

The real question is how much you can cross the customs with for free

You can bring 1 carton (200 cigarettes) per adult.

You can also bring 1 liter of alcohol per adult

This is your free allowance.

If you bring more than that, you'll need to declare it and pay duties on the excess amount (even if you've bought them in a duty free shop, only the items under your allowance will be exempt from duties when you cross the border)

What sort of thing are you thinking of?
We drink vodka, it usually costs £22 for 2L of Smirnoff at UK Duty free. We buy in Walgreens Liquor, 1.75L for $17.99 + tax = £13.50/bottle or £7.70/L plus a choice of around 10 flavours. Far cheaper over there.

Only for when you are returning home. You can't buy anything as you enter the US. You can only use the UK Duty free.

things may different from usa but i thick i can buy a bottle of achool 1L in uk and and take it onto the plan in uk duty free is this true

i am looking to buy 1L jagermeister

If you are thinking of buying in the UK taking it to the US and bringing back again it will count as your 1l of duty free in both directions.

We often buy pimms in UK duty free to take with us to drink there as it is one of the few drinks that is cheaper in the UK. That is my 1l of duty free when entering the US however it never comes home with us!

 

[adamlatham smith]

can i buy as e.g. 2 bottle of school at 500ml duty free and take it into usa

 

[adamlatham smith]

i sent a email to usa customs this is what they sent back
You are allowed 1 liter duty free if you are at least 21 years old, and all you have to do is list it on the customs declaration you get on the plane.
do i have to list before i get on the plane or do i list when i get off the plane and then declaration

 

[Elise79]

Depending on who you fly with you will either be given the customs form at check in or on the plane. You need to complete this and it declares everything you are taking into the US.

i am flying with virgin atlantic

You will list it on the customs form you are given on the plane. You can take it onto the plane with you - no problem - but you will have to declare it when you take it into the US. Is there a particular reason why you want to buy it on the way OUT to the US? Do you plan to drink it there? If not, I suggest you wait and buy it at the duty free shop at Orlando Airport when you are coming home.

 

[chmurf]

You can take it onto the plane with you - no problem -

let me just add that it's ok if OP is flying direct to MCO and the purchase is made airside (past security)
If not, then the bottle needs to be placed in the checked luggage upon collection at a connection airport, or be placed in a sealed container/bag at the duty free shop. Otherwise it will be confiscated by security if OP needs to go through a security checkpoint before boarding the plane

 

[Elise79]

VA usually hand out customs forms at check in.

You can not consume any duty free on board the plane.

As Joh said list it on the form so the customs offificer can see it.

 

[adamlatham smith]

what do alcohol come under as i don't it on the form also will any staff be able to help me fill form out if i am sure

 

[chmurf]

[adamlatham smith]

i am in 3rd class what sort of things do you get like headphone etc

 

[chmurf]

3rd class is something that probably disappeared with the titanic ...

 

[adamlatham smith]

i was not sure what it was called but i thick it called economy

 

[Elise79]

The cheapest class is economy.

You will get headphones, free drinks, main meal, mid flight mini ice cream and a light tea before landing.

On the return flight they also give you an aminity kit with a toothbrush, mini toothpaste and eye mask.
