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.


?

At $5 or $6 for each one served on a plane?

What a joke - to bring up such an arcane, inconsequential and
unenforcable rule as if its somehow relevant.

And I suppose that you also never violate the airlines carry-on bag
rules for size and weight?

Free on British Airways.


On international flights, or domestic - or both?

In coach?

In my experience, drinks are free on international flights in coach on
airlines not based in the US.

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

Not supplied, served. The reason is so they can stop serving you if
you're visibly drunk.

Different airlines interpret it in different ways. If you hand a
bottle to an FA and ask if she'll open it, sometimes she will,
sometimes not.

John

My experience is that the booze is free in all classes on all
international flights.

I'm told that some US airlines don't give the stuff away on international
flights.

My experience is that even airlines based in Arab countries give free
drinks in all classes on international flights.

Well reasonably obviously if you don't intend drinking it on the flight
you can put the stuff in a case in the hold.

It was a low-cost airline with hand-carry baggage allowance only.
