RCman Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 We are flying home to Toronto on Aero Mexico via Mexico City. After we check our baggage and clear customs, can we buy our legal quantity in the airport in Guad or Mexico City and have it in our carry-on OR as I have seen sometimes they bring it on the plane and you pick it up when departing the plane? On my last trip several years ago, I brought a bottle purchased here in Ajijic but it was seized at the Guad Customs. With the cost of booze in Canada I hate to waste the opportunity of bringing some Christmas Cheer!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Saltos Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Liquor must be in your checked bags! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suegarn Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Why can't they purchase it in the Duty-Free shop? They're taking an international flight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudgirl Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Because there are not heavy taxes on booze in Mexico, I have found that the duty free shops in the airports here are actually quite a bit more expensive than buying at your favorite local liquor store. I have never had a problem packing a bottle in my checked luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cartero Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Depends on where you hub. If the US you buy from duty free here and it goes up top as carry on. If you hub in the US you retrieve and recheck your checked baggage. At that time you must put the booze into the checked luggage. If flying direct from Mexico city you would buy at the duty free and your booze would fly carry on directly to Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaponicsman Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 There are certain amounts you can have in your checked bags. Easy to find the guidelines searching the web. Plus, you might be able to get away with a little more at the duty free shop, which they deliver as you are checking onto the plane (at least at the Guadalajara Airport.) Since going to Canada is so politically and spiritually upsetting, I pretend to be disabled and have one 1/2 gallon gallon of Everclear in a catheter bag on each leg, plus I get my wheelchair girl to put me on the plane before anyone else! And not one person has ever asked why a guy in a wheelchair has some of the most expensive Rossignol skis ever made! Viva Trudeau! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are worse things like not having a sense of humor... or God forbid, pretending to be intelligent and walking around in public acting as though you are! But I am okay with that as long as you realize that animals are more important than people, bad men are more powerful than the sun (and responsible for climate change, when they are not beating their wives and diddling their children) and that poor people would not piss away every penny redistributed to them from socialists. Naturally I was being humorous (but I am despicable if warms your heart and saves you from having to retreat to a safe space.) The big problem with your ludicrous offense is that Oooooo,.. since we are flying out of Mexico -- the drug export capital of the world -- you cannot just smuggle booze in your catheter bags, sweet potato. But relax, as stated, I am despicable and I will probably say something else to "trigger" you soon.. something like "My Health Care is Free, eh!" Viva Trudeau!

moderator-2 Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Getting personal. Closed. You could have just noted you were joking and left it at that. I suspect most got the joke but apparently not everyone did and "Naturally I was being humorous..." would have easily taken care of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
