OK I HAVE ANOTHER DUMB QUESTION, CAN MY HUSBAND AND I BOTH BRING BACK A BOTTLE OF TEQUILA? WE HAVE BEEN TOLD DIFFERENT THINGS ON THE SUBJECT, FROM ONE BOTTLE EACH TO JUST ONE BOTTLE FOR THE COUPLE. THANKS ANY ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED!
You're allowed up to 2 liters per person. The duty free shop at the airport has a good selection and good prices. Also they deliver it to you right as you board the plane, so you don't have to worry about shoving it into your checked bag with padding, etc.
Make sure you know the prices back home on stuff before you go. I live in WI and many times I can buy the stuff cheaper back home or about the same price as I can in Mexico. Kahula for some reason always seems to be cheaper.
WaL-mart does have good prices, but you can't get it through security to carry on, which means you have to pack in (well-padded) in your checked bag and pray it doesn't break while being handled by the bag throwers. At the Duty Free shop at the airport, you just carry it in the overhead bin. I find the best prices are on high end imported liquors. The liter of Kahlua in the airport was 12 dollars, at home it's 26. Liter of Grand Marnier in Mx, 32 bucks, at home-48. The other benefit is the large selection of good (ie. 100% agave) tequilas, usually in the 17 to 22 dollar range that are closer to 35 or 40 here in the states.
booze crown is 1/2 price in the duty free shop. 2 liters per person#####BUT### be sure to pack it 2 bottles per carry on. at dallas almost missed the next plane because i packed all the booze (and weight) in my carry on. had to recheck the bag. make sure to divide the bottles as 2 liters per person in the carry on. rk
I picked up some Belvedre vodka & Parton tequila in the airport df shop last time around & it was about 8 bucks less than prices here in oklahoma. we got some high-ass liquor taxes here.
