Hi,
Do any of you seasoned travellers know if it's ok to travel with alcohol in a checked in suitcase?
I want to take a box of wine in my suitcase when I fly from heathrow next week.
Thanks

No problems other than it's heavy stuff and obviously eats into your baggage allowance.0

Fine as long as you don't fall foul of customs guidelines.0

I'd wrap it in cling film and then a couple of tied carrier bags to contain any leakage that might occur.Hoping this year is better than the last.

Two seconds on Google produced this....The importation of Alcohol into the UAE is only permitted as part of the duty free allowance for personal consumption. Four items of alcohol per person is the permitted allowance.
