We just returned from Magic 2/9 - 2/16 and had no problem. We packed (bubble wrap) several bottles of wine, 12 pack canned beer, and small bottle of vodka. We packed it in a carry on soft sided cooler (it's designed with wheels & knapsack option) When we got to the terminal we put a luggage tag on it and saw it in our cabin about 1 1/2 hours later!!!!!!!!
