Question
I am travelling to India by British Airways. Am I allowed to carry liquor bottles from US? If so,  How many bottles of liquor can I carry? Can I take with me in hand baggage or in the check-in baggage?

Answer
Dear Josephravi,

Adults may bring in not more than one liter of alcoholic beverages - beer, wine, liquor - for personal use.

You'll need to place it on the checked baggage, since the amount of any liquids on the carry-on can not exceed 100 ml.

Best Regards,
R. Gomes
