finding flights not connecting in the US (carrying liquor)
In the last episode of , John Levine
said: But that's overly restrictive because it cuts out non-US connections, which allow the sealed carry-on. Remember that most US airports do not have customs facilities. If you can't find a flight from London or Amsterdam or Frankfurt to a city, you can be reasonably sure that there aren't any overseas flights to it at all. One possibility is to connect at an airport with US preclearance. I know that in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, you go directly from an incoming international flight to US customs. CATSA says they allow duty free security bags but it's not clear whether they allow them on US flights: http://www.catsa.gc.ca/duty-free-purchases If they don't, you have a problem, because they have an expedited baggage system where you don't normally collect your bags when you connect, so you can't easily stick them in your checked luggage. If you're passing through customs, you can expect to retrieve your bags and re-check them. The bags are classified as "checked through", but in reality, you still touch your bag at one point as customs wants to have you and your bags together if they decide to inspect you. (Unless this has changed very recently -- I last did this type of connection some months ago, but it definitely hasn't changed when you enter into Canada and have a connecting flight) -- Next on FOX, all new REALITY SHOW promises to be a hit: "STOP A BULLET WITH YOUR HEAD" |
