Can you buy bottles of alcohol at los angeles airport?

Question

i am going on a very long flight and alcohol on the plane is really expensive, do you know if you can buy bottles of alcohol once you pass the security checkpoint

Answer 1

I think most airports usually have a "store" where you can buy alcohol before you get on a flight.

Answer 2

yes. but you cant take your own shots on the plane. so all you have to do is buy a coke, drink half and fill the rest with vodka before you get on the plane!

Answer 3

No you cannot.  But you can get hammered in the airport bars and any drink you buy they offer you an extra shot for 2 bucks more!!!

Answer 4

YES YOU CAN

As long as you first buy it in the duty-free shops offered at most, if not all major airports including LAX. Often they are cheaper and I got mine for about 60% the regular price.

I recently went to China and at the Shanghai Airport, I bought a few bottle of Bombay Sapphire Gin and got randomly checked at LAX and they were more concerned with my clothes than the liters of duty free alcohol in my bag.

Note, you cant bring your own alcohol and expect it to pass because you're not allowed anything over 100ml/3oz in your carry on, but the duty-free sealed with plastic bottles are allowed.

Any sh*tfacing before the flight might get you kicked off.

Oh, and Hong Kong's Airport has some duty free shops that give out free shots as samples.
