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? 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. So you went to all that trouble because you're too stingy to take hold baggage on a **** airline?

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. Continental stopped serving free booze in cattle class on transatlantic flights some years ago. I believe they charge around GBP 3 per drink. |

It had nothing to do with being stingy. It was only a trip for a few days, and I anticipated a small hand-carry bag being more than enough. I accept it was rather stupid to have bought the bottle of brandy in the first place, but I totally forgot about the consequences at the time. You really are a sad little man. Why the need to be offensive? Can't you carry on a reasonable discussion without having to tack on derogatory personal comments after everything you say? |
