Can You Take Alcoholic Beverages In Your Carry-on Bag Into The Airplane?



I work for a airline and yes you can carry-on alcoholic beverages, but they have to have their original seal unbroken. Of course you can only have 2 carry-on items and it would be counted in your carry-on count. IIt is a better Idea to carry it on since it is fragile.
I have seen several people put bottles of alcohol in their bag(s) and take the chance that they won’t break. It is not a pretty sight if they don’t make it, let alone the smell. Especially if it is wine, which stains and 99% of the time does not come out.
The bottles can not be opened on the aircraft though, so if you are planning on drinking it, you will not be able too.

    As long as it remains sealed

  2. yes you can provided they are unopened and remain unopened for the entire trip…you cannot take homemade wine on or anything that hasn’t been professionally sealed for security reasons..ie you could have biological weapons in the bottle.
    source: i worked at the gate for a major airline for 31 years.

  3. They can’t be opened

  4. No

  5. Don’t listen to the people above and below.
    Here, direct from the TSA, are the new rules.http://www.tsa.gov/assets/pdf/Permitted_…

  6. Sure, I do it all the time. However, if you drink it they get mad. After all they want you to buy there nasty little bottles of not very good stuff!! Just be creative!! Vodka in a water bottle, wine in a coffee to go mug… but, yes you can travel w/ alcohol

  7. if you want to get thrown off the plane!

  8. Yes you can, but not allowed to drink them on the plane

  9. No, you won’t be able to take any flammable liquid on the plane, nor can you take any GLASS bottle on the plane. Now, I’ve seen many people who bring a small flask of booze on the plane, but that’s a small amount and i”m sure the guy at the gate checked it over carefully.
    When in doubt, call theairlines, and call the airport security.

  10. “With the exception of medications, any amount of liquid including alcohol greater than three ounces must be packed in your checked baggage.

    “Liquids, including alcohol purchased after clearing the security checkpoint are permitted aboard aircraft.” http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/assistant/editorial_1189.shtm
