Gate Checking Liquor for Flight to the U.S.
I will be flying CX from HKG to JFK in a few days. In F, if that matters.

On my last trip, the duty free store at HKG wouldn't sell me any alcohol because I was flying to the U.S. and the liquids won't make it through U.S. bound pre-departure security inspection.

I will have room in my roll-a-board for the two bottles I want to buy (they are limited edition Jack Daniels blends that are not sold in the U.S.). Will I have any luck getting CX to gate check that bag so I can avoid the pre-departure security inspection?
