My gal is flying to Dublin tomorrow to stay with her brother James for a few days.

I want her to take James a bottle of malt - is she allowed to pack this in a suitcase - I know she can't take it through as hand luggage?

Thanks, David

 

There is no restriction on liquids in your suitcase. I regularly bring back various 1ltr bottles of things from America.

Edit: Pack it well though!

Steve

 

Indeed - pack it very well.

 

Thanks Steve

I'll get her to wrap it in bubble pack and stick in the middle with bunch of clothes around it. David

 

Is that cheaper here than over there?

Les

 

Cheaper than Dublin - very likely indeed

 

I've no idea but Dublin is bloody expensive

But he would never buy a bottle because he has no money

It was an Xmas present from dad when James was over here but stoopid dad forgot it couldn't be taken on board. James was Ryanairing with only an in-flight bag.

David

 

David yes.

 

Yes ok, I have no idea of prices in Ireland.

Les

 

Generally 1.5 times UK prices in my experience

Heres a very basic example.
Our company use a place called Prometric for microsoft certification
If we do an exam in Belfast it costs £88
If we do the same exam in Dublin it costs €180
Nuts - Dublin does everything differently

Subaru WRX STI - approx €60,000
Pint of Guiness - €4.00 - €5.00 (OK depends on pub location etc)
