New Age Duty Free

[Tianna LAWRENCE]

In NY it's a NO Go.  I bought duty free perfume and Liquor to bring home and 
they took both and tried to discard.  I put up such a fuss esp. since I'd 
bought it DUTY Free that they wrapped it and place it sealed and placed it 
in the under carriage needless to say the perfume, Yep perfume not cologne, 
not eau de but perfume broke all over my 21 yr old cask strength bottle of 
Lagavulin which was confiscated at JFK because of the smell and liquid 
leakage of the pkg.  I was re-imbursed.  I'm too thru.  Did I mention that I 
came from Gatwick?

Good Luck

Tianna

Hi All,

My guess is they'll find a way to get the df purchases to the hold so
you can pick them up on arrival or else use some kind of a skycheck
system where you deliver the df to a baggage handler after you've
passed your gate.
