Baggage check Bali side,they say you are not allowed to take liquids in your checked luggage? it is a scam,last time I took out my half full bottle from my checked case on the insistence of the security at check in but refused to hand it over to them,I took it to the toilet and tipped it away after my case was checked in,telling the security what I was going to do with a big smile.
I argued at first because the person in front of me had to remove a bottle from his checked luggage but was allowed to put it back, It was Arak! When asked why the person in front was allowed to put the Arak back in his case and I was not allowed to keep mine he told me the other persons case was more strong!lol
Simple scam,they get to keep your expensive booze but dont want the Arak.
Dont give up your booze,tip it away and they will eventually stop this nonsense.
