I went to Napa recently and bought three bottles of wine for gifts. I'm visiting my family tomorrow and I was wondering how I was going to bring them with me. Do I just put them with my check bag, or will they take it out and confiscate it if I do that? I don't think I can carry it on, or can I with a special permit or something?I'm going from LAX to Kansas City, if that makes a difference.The carrier is Frontier Airlines.

As long as the bottles are sealed closed, then you won't have any problems. You must make sure that the bottles are inside your luggage (for check-in) and not on your carry-on. They will confiscate them if they are in your carry-on.I bring wine to the US from Spain every year and I never had a problem so you shouldn't worry.If you have any other questions about it, I found a very informative site: http://www.wineintro.com/wineries/airplane.html

You would have to take a tiny bottle and it has to be in a ziploc bag to get through security.
