Buying a duty free liquor, JFK or MAD?
We have a flt from JFK to LIS, stop over @ MAD. Can we buy a duty free bottle in JFK without problem @ MAD? Or should we buy @ MAD?

As you MAD-LIS is an Internal EU Flight you cannot Buy Duty Free in MAD. Only Duty Paid.
Now all you need to find out is, can you take US Sealed Duty Free through MAD Security. Hopefully One Day we will have Global Airport Security Standardization..until then its a Lottery:mad: |
Short answer: buy in liquids in MAD not JFK otherwise it will be confiscated if it is in hand luggage
Long answer: info on carrying liquids on MAD web site http://www.aena.es/csee/Satellite?ci...=1&c=Page&MO=5 |

On the basis of the above, you're better off buying it in Lisbon. |

Exactly. In MAD, as has been noted already, it will be duty paid and likely a ripoff.

Would it be possible to have your bags checked in as far as MAD. Collect them, place the DF in the checked bags and take them through customs and re-check them for the flight to LIS? That way you would be able to buy them in JFK at the much cheaper prices.
