LHR security and alcohol
I have been asked to bring home a bottle of gin from a specialty shop in London. As an operating crewmember going through Airside Security at LHR, and the policy on liquids and gels, I don't believe I can. Am I correct ?
I could however, purchase alcohol from the Duty Free shop once inside the terminal, or buy from my company's in flight duty free, but this won't help.
I believe that if deadheading or on personal travel, a bottle is acceptable in checked baggage.
In other words, am I correct that if an operating crewmember,one is out of luck in bringing home a bottle purchased outside of LHR ?
