Hi all,

I'm a longtime lurker (particularly in the awesome Starwood forum) and I'd appreciate your help with an INT/INT transit question through Narita.

Question: We're going EWR->NRT->CGK and some friends in Jakarta want us to bring them wine. Can I buy wine duty free in Newark and make the international transit through Narita? (both flights are in terminal 1)

I'd rather not buy wine at NRT as I've heard it'll be really expensive, if it comes to it I'd rather check a bag that's just got wine in it, pad it really well and cross our fingers.

Arriving & departing on ANA
Connection time: 3h 45min

This article makes me think we can:http://www.japanupdate.com/2014/01/l...ry-on-baggage/
But this security page from the airport makes me think we can't (http://www.narita-airport.jp/en/secu...ection_ss.html and http://www.narita-airport.jp/en/secu...nspections.pdf) unless it's in some magic STEB bag ... can I get wine bought in Newark dutry free put in these?

Thanks so much!
