Bringing alcohol on a plane as your carry on?
 

By now a lot of people know you can bring your own alcohol on an airplane as a carry on as long as it adheres to the 3oz rule and 1 quart baggie rule.

It is illegal to pour your own drink on board, but has anybody thought about asking the flight attendant to pour the little drink for you?

I'm heading out to Vegas in a couple days and plan to do it the right way, and I'm not paying the $7 per drink on the plane.

That's a great idea. Let me know if you can! I was unaware of the bring your own drink on board concept too, so nice to know. Last time I flew they didn't trust you with anything so had to throw away liquids before getting on the plane.

I bought 5 of those little whiskey bottles from the liquor store for about $2-$3 each.

Getting them on the plane as carry on is perfectly legal, just the mixing your own drink thing is what raises my curiosity.

Even if they won't pour it for me, I'll say **** em and pour it in my coke when they aren't looking!

cool -- let us know when you are done bailing outta jail

I'll post updates from the cell.

Meh, if you do it and are smart about it, no Issue. What they don't know, won't hurt them.

Do not let Bogey in this thread please.

Yeah it's not that hard to slip something in a cup of soda, especially if you have a window seat, but if the attendants do have an issue with it, I wonder if they would pour it for me. I believe the only reason they won't let you pour your own is because they want to moderate your alcohol intake. Don't want people acting like idiots on the plane.

You NEED to drink that bad?

I remember when I used to come back from Europe w/2 cases of beer and 2 cases of wine. I still managed to bring back about 6 bottles this time. But not in my carry on.

Damn terrorists are still winning.

Yes. Absolutely.

My thoughts as well. Just wait till you get off the plane. I've never understood why people get toasted while flying???

If you fly first class the drinks are free.

Some people fear it. Some people need to sleep.

Have you ever been on 15 hour flights before? There's pretty much nothing to do other than read, eat, watch an in-flight movie and drink.

Or, if you're heading to party in Vegas or Cabo, there's nothing like a little Pre-arrival drinking to get the party started.

Did not know that.

This man knows where I'm coming from.

Have fun!

Yes, and it does kinda suck. I guess I can see drinking to calm nerves.

I'm going to a bachelor party, and it'll be my first Vegas experience, so yeah, plenty of drinking will be happening all week.

How the **** would that be a 15 hour flight?

ya first class is great. I'm looking at a trip to africa -- looked at standard seating -- $6k RT... then looked at first class -- $18k RT.. I like to travel first class, but maybe not that much.

Picture of the friends.

Where in Africa?


We're looking at doing a dental mission in Africa in the near future.

You ever been on an airplane?

**** you.

We had an 15 hour flight when we went to Italy, it was awful. Thankfully, they had some good scotch.

It's not itemized on an invoice but you paid for them whether you drink them or not.

Yes.

I remember coming back from Mexico a few years ago. Sat at the outdoor bar and drank until the shuttle came. I probably pushed it to about the limit of them even letting me on the plane. Had never really thought about this carry on liquor thing, but I can't see them liking it much.

All week? I hope you're not spending a week in Vegas.

I flew to Kinshasa this year. 8 hrs to Paris, 5 hour layover, 8 more to The Congo. The flight back was way worse, and Air France doesn't stock bourbon. :evil:

Cousin is in Africa right now. He's a big wig in the WWF. Latest project was using mini drones (fancy word for remote control air planes) to help combat poachers.

Meh, 4 days. Monday night through Thursday.

some airlines will serve it to you (JetBlue for one has that policy) others will not.

Good to know. I'm using Southwest.

Where are you staying in LV?

New York, New York. It's a group of 8 of us total. 3 of us are staying at NYNY, and the other guys are splitting between a couple other hotels because they had free rooms. My group will kind of be all over the strip.

Nairobi, Kenya

Awesome.

I've never stayed at NY NY. Stayed at Ceasars, the Belagio, and Planet.

Vegas is great. Watch it though, shit can get outta hand fast.

Can you elaborate on what you mean?

What does wrestling have to do with poaching?

LMAO

Figured I'd get that response :)


Honestly coming back alive and with all my limbs is my main goal here. I plan on getting pretty crazy otherwise.

Stay on the strip after midnight. It gets kinda sketchy on Fremont late at night.

He battles poachers....IN A STEEL CAGE.

You'll see when you get there.

Vegas is it's own kind of animal. I love it there actually. But I have a bit of a giambiling problem when I get a bit to inebriated.

I like strippers too and well.....there are a ****load of stunning strippers in Vegas.


Actually, **** man, take me with you. Things are more fun when they get out of hand anyway.

Gotcha.

Now we're talkin. Come on out man!

Yeah, really, all you really need is on the strip.


Best time I've had in Vegas was being at Mandalay during the NCAA tourney first weekend.


And I'd love to come out, but with the wife going into labor any second now, I'd be hard to go unnoticed.

On a recent flight from PR to Boston I just snuck a pint of Don Q on and we just poured our own drinks. The flight had free juice or soda. Just be low-key and you should be fine!

Well I plan to do my first sports bet while I'm out there. Hoping to put something down towards the NFL season. And no, it won't be on the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl.

you could also purchase a drink in the gate area, drink some, and mix your cocktail discreetly in the gate.

That's what I'm thinkin man. I won't be talking on the plane much to bug other passengers. I'll be reading my fantasy football magazine for 2 hours, and a couple of drinks would go well with that.

**** YEAH!


Are they real poachers or is it like a set up thing?

Funny you mentioned that, my buddy had the same idea.

just don't crack the seal

The wife and I bought a bottle of tequila in the airport on our way back from the honeymoon, had some drinks on the plane.

Like mentioned, if you keep it low key, it's not really a big deal.

****ing this! Me and nine of my friends go to Vegas every year for the opening two rounds of the NCAA tourney. Caesars Palace sports book is where it's at for that weekend.

Strippers, hookers, drinking, gambling, all you can eat food, no clocks - what could possibly go wrong?

:D

If you find yourself exceeding your daily limit and hitting up your credit card for a cash advance, it's time to head home.

The poachers are real. The animals. The animals are what's fake.

Sounds like I'll be throwing up at some point.

Yeah, leave the credit card in the room. No cash for advance.

I plan on spending cash everywhere I go rather than card. That way I kind of have a limit.

I hope not! Most strippers don't dig that although some are used to it.

I wouldn't do that because he might not be able to make it home...

Are we living in a movie?

Oh and be cool on the plane to any hotties. Blowjob in the airport before you even hit the strip.

True story.

I always bring some on. Pour my jack into my coke. Never a problem.

LMAO. Holy hell.

The last time I flew to Vegas, I talked to a few chicks in Burbank airport. We sat next to each other on the flight and the chick in the window seat was having her bachelorette party that weekend. The chick to my right had had a D cup boob job and kept telling me how sensitive her nipples were since the surgery. They also mentioned that normally, they drive to Vegas naked but decided to fly this time.

They invited me back to their hotel before they were to meet up with the other girls.

I declined because I'm married. If I wasn't...

LMAO Drive to Vegas naked. Good Lord.

I love hot slutty blonde chicks.

:D

I love hot slutty brunettes, but i don't think i would turn down a hot slutty blonde all the same.

So......when are ya headed back to Vegas again Dane? I'll be your wingman. :D

Do yourself a favor! Mixed drinks like absolute&vodka or gin&tonic usually have one shot per drink so if you have one every half hour you can be buzzed all day and maintain while enjoying Vegas! The key is to start in the morning and last through the night then laugh at your buddies while their throwing up.

Yes. You can do this. Im sure the airline doesnt like it but what are they gonna do when u are up there? Kick you out?

This.

The moment you ask them to pour for you is the moment they start watching for you to pour your own.

I don't fly sober.

I sit first class and drink up

Don't steal Mike Tyson's tiger. That pisses him off.

As for the drink thing... yeah, asking the stewardess to pour it is pretty dumb. It's akin to sneaking food into a movie theater and then asking the usher if they can take your Ziploc full of popcorn out to the stand and put some butter on it for you. If you're gonna bring the liquor on board, just sneak it into the drink yourself.
