Is it ok to pack a bottle of liquor on an International flight?

Are you planning on going to Malaysia and/or any of the Arab countries?

 

They won't let you bring liquids on your carry on.

 

Not unless you buy it from a Duty Free shop.

 

You can put it in a checked bag, just not a carry on. Also, certain countries do not allow or have limitations on the importation of alcohol so I would check that. Just make sure you pack it well cause ground handlers throw those bags around recklessly. So if it bursts, your luggage will be either ruined or the bag will be removed.

I work for United if that helps.

 

It must be a real good bottle of Vodka or you are going to South Pole or Syria. Am I right?

 

This. It's a crap shoot whether the airline has automatic bag loaders or jackoffs who throw your luggage around like it's a garbage bag.

I've checked in liquor before, but I wrap it around with loads of clothes and nothing too tight.

No prob man. Me and my dad would always bring bottles of Jack, Jim, 1800, Patron...etc over to Poland (where my family is from) as gifts cause its a ultra premium liquor to have over there. (and we would bring back Vodka home) We usually wrapped it up in one layer of small bubble wrap (from walmart or something), then clothes and put it in the center with clothes above and below it for padding. Usually never was a problem.
