Hi everyone, just a quick query about transiting in Frankfurt. I'm flying to St. Petersburg from Dublin via Frankfurt this coming Friday with Lufthansa. My question relates to duty free purchases. Im wondering if I purchase say a bottle of brandy in Dublin, will I be able to take it all the way through to St Petersburg? The reason I ask is that last week i flew to Paris via Frankfurt with Lufthansa again and on the outbound journey from Dublin we had to pass through security. It was rather strange though as on the return journey from Paris as I didnt have to go through security then. Can anybody shed some light for me? Im a little confused. I have of course transited before with duty free shopping and have been lucky, but I read elsewhere that travellers sometimes have their goods confiscated. I'd really appreciate any help you can give. Many thanks
