I frankly think that all these itty bitty liquid restrictions in most airports and are grossly misinterperted/abused by some ignorant customs people have come to the bordeline of ridicule! Why can’t they be trained and informed better? With all those airport taxes we pay, the passengers should be spared of some stupidities and frustrations and even expenses caused by ill informed airport civil servants.
Geez, the terrorists must be having a whale of a time over all these!!!

However, you can buy food and all the water you need inside the terminal after you pass security which you can carry with you to the plane, but make sure if you have a connecting flight that you don’t get out of the secured area or they will not allow that same liquid you bought inside.

At the honolulu airport though, even after you passed security, before you board, they would again ask you to pass your hand carry to the x-ray machine to check for raw fruits and veggies but would allow you to take the cooked food with you on board.

She bought bottle of Limoncello from the Duty Free Shop in Ciampino Airport in Rome . After waiting 7 hours for a direct flight back to London lugging around the precious bottle, her flight gets diverted and flies to London via Venice instead. It was in Venice that she was informed she had to part ways with her yellow companion despite showing her Duty Free Receipt. Words of the wise – do not buy alcohol from your original point of departure if you are stopping over another airport and need to pass through customs once again.:)

You are allowed to bring formula. When you get on board a long flight, ask for bottled water early to ensure you don’t run out. I suspect they would scour the entire plane for a baby… first class rarely runs out…

Or will I have to use the airline’s water? What if they run out of water?!!

She sprayed the entire contents unto a toilet paper until the bottle was empty.
