On a recent trip I bought a bottle of XO Cognac I saved a few of the
(drink bottles) we had for breakfast and filled six of them with the

allowed to take them all on board the aircraft.

You are a deeply sad person.

How so?

I do the same thing. I save empty 50 ml bottles of liquor and re-fill
them at home and bring them with me when I fly. Sometimes 4 of them at
a time. I always get them past screening with no questions or issues.


Why bother?

The stuff isn't that expensive.


And also isn't there a rule by the airlines (not TSA) that
all liquor consumed in the cabin must have been supplied by the carrier?


There is, but who said they were planning to consume it on board the
flight?
