Re: Warning - risk of duty free stuff being confiscated on the way to Prague

I know for a fact (because it happened to me Friday) that
liquids are confiscated on the security check required to transit at
London Heathrow. 100 milliliters is the limit, and this includes duty- free purchased
elsewhere in-route.

Now, of course, you can _buy_ duty free at Heathrow and carry it on the plane. How
convenient.

It is reported by The Economist dated March 10 that if you buy duty free liquids outside Europe, carry them on the plane with you, and have to go through airport security while changing planes in Europe, your liquids will be confiscated, assuming they exceed 100 ccs.

Europe in this case means the EU plus Norway, Iceland and Switzerland. If you are flying from anywhere else to Prague and changing planes in Europe, this will certainly apply at major airports such as London Heathrow, Paris CDG, etc., and wherever international transit passengers must go through security checkpoints.

To avoid losing your alcohol or perfume, they need to be in your checked baggage.
