In Reply to: NEW AIRPORT REGULATIONS!!! posted by I_love_Bali on Sunday, 8. April 2007 at 08:53 Bali Time:
The new regulations has been in effect since November -06 in Europe and the US. In the beginning it was a hazzle as people didn't have a clue and all non-allowed items had to be taken out of the handluggage at the security check. Long, long ques and lots of waiting. Now it works smooth as the message has hit home. I bring just a few necessary items in my handluggage and buy the rest upon arrival.
It's still possible to buy dutyfree. The plastic bag is being sealed at the cashier and may not be opened until reaching your destination. Have done this atleast 4 times since November, so it's not a problem.
