Transit at O R Tambo to Domestic Flight with Duty Free
Does anyone have current experience of a transit at O R Tambo to a domestic flight when carrying Duty Free?
In theory, if the Duty Free is in an approved sealed bag from the airport of origin (in this case, LHR), it should be no problem to take it through the security check at JNB for the domestic flight, and carry it on board. However, the ability of security staff to invent their own rules at whim is well known, and I would very much like to have a written definitive reference, or current experience.
I have tried searching on the web. The airlines are very coy about the issue, and there seems to be nothing on the O R Tambo or ACSA sites. The only thing I have found is a reference on the Air Namibia site which suggests that it is O.K. to carry Duty Free (from Namibia), “if you are transferring through Johannesburg or Cape Town on to domestic services”.
Anyone with the definitive answer, or current experience?
Thanks.
