thought some may be interested in regards to my post earlier today.The concern re having full bottles of alcohol was not an issue.
Just received an sms a short time ago from the girls.There were not any questions asked or any comments made re a full bottle of Arak being in each of their suitcases.Said nice friendly staff every where in the airport.Check in staff even put a fragile sticker on their suitcases when they mentioned they had some possible breakables in their luggage.I am sure the bottles have been very well wrapped,hopefully they will arrive intact.
Have just reminded them again that it means less of a duty free allowance when they get back home.Maybe things are looking on the up & up re bottles of alcohol being confiscated at the airport.
