I am flying from YYZ to EWR (Newark) and plan on picking up a juice extractor (and perhaps a bottle of whiskey) from my friend in NYC. The juice extractor will be packed its styrofoam lined cardboard box.
Normally, I'd carry fragile, non-liquid goods through security and carefully pack the bottle of liquor in my check baggage.
Has anyone have any experience with this? I don't want to know that I've wasted money when I return home with it broken.
Many thanks.
I've checked numerous bottles of wine, sometimes several three or four bottles in the same bag, from close to home and faraway places, via the U.S. and not via the U.S., on direct and connecting itineraries, and each time, they have all arrived in tact (even when opened by TSA).
Knock on wood that this continues.
Just package well and gives lots of cushion.
