as we're changing in the EU we can't buy any duty free liquids in japan. For 'security' reasons. I had my eye on a litre of absolut. bah.

we *can* buy stuff on the plane as it's an EU based carrier but that's so not going to be cheap.

*sulks*

at least I found this out before I bought stuff. unlike Neal. ooops.

exactamundo. AND WE COULDN'T EVEN BUY IT ON THE PLANE

We only discovered this fact after we'd checked our hold luggage in, otherwise I might've done that.
Also, the duty-free shops are all behind the check-in bit.
Bah, and bah!

Thank you (and Neal) for the postcard! It was most awesome. I'm glad Neal hasn't been eaten by deer too and hope you have all returned safely *hugs*

they in european airports can seal liquid sales in flight approved bags ... so then you can fly with them..

"..The European Union, Iceland, Norway, Japan, Singapore, Australia and other countries have implemented new regulations regarding liquids in carry on bags. As a result, there are potential implications for passengers who purchase liquid duty-free items (e.g. perfume and liquor) while traveling to and from international destinations.

Because many duty-free shops in other countries are located before the security checkpoint, all liquid duty-free items purchased in those airports will be placed in special sealed tamper-evident bags in order to be permitted through those countries’ security checkpoints. ..."
