I am unclear ... if I was to buy booze airside on an EU airport and I am flying back to EDI via LHR ... will they let me take it through the security check at LHR?

As long as the originating duty free is in a selaed bag, you should be OK. Having said that, outside the EU is becoming very difficult. The other night at AMS I saw a guy that had a couple of bottles poured into a bin. He had bought them in duty free at Thailand. The security guys at LHR are a law amongst themselves though Back to top Guest Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 8:19 pm    Post subject: Re: Holiday On Apr 26, 10:39 am, Sunshine On Leith <b...@boing.com> wrote: Quote: Charles C. wrote: Sunshine On Leith wrote: Charles C. wrote: I am unclear ... if I was to buy booze airside on an EU airport and I am flying back to EDI via LHR ... will they let me take it through the security check at LHR?

Yes, you have to go through the one bag rule as well as the scanners - we had to cram all the excess that you collect on the way into one bag. Crawford Back to top Charles C.

As Crawford says, if you bought goods which are legal to transport you still have to get them to fit in one bag when you arrive at LHR. And in my case (all the last few times I can remember flying back but for the last time), my luggage did not come to EDI with me. I must have flown from an unsafe country into LHR then onwards to EDI so my luggage should need triple checking ... complete and utter rubbish. Regards Charles -- Please remove _removeme_ to reply.
