Can I pack a small fan in my checked luggage?

Is it possible to pack glass wine bottles in a checked piece of luggage? On southwest air?

  • I'm planning on flying from burbank,california to phoenix,arizona on southwest airlines. I know that southwest allows two free pieces of luggage checked free of charge. If I pack two glass wine bottles and wrap them in bubble wrap then put them in checked luggage will the wine bottles arrive without breaking? Also in one of the checked suitecases I was planning on packing a halg gallon plastic bottle of fresh squezzed juice in a large plastic ziploc bag with two ice packs. Since I'm going to be staying at a hotel in phoenix and not have a car it will be hard for me to go grocery shopping when I arrive. The flight from Burbank to phoenix is only an hour. The drive from burbank to phoenix is 6 hours. Many people think I should drive my car instead of driving.

  • Answer:

    You can pack all of those things. Alcohol is permitted in checked bags. No problem. I would worry about the cap coming off of the OJ container and leaving you with an awful mess. Probably would not happen, and the zip lock bag might be able to contain most of it. But.... If the flight time is 1 hour, then you will spend at least 3 hours in travel: 1 hour flight, be at airport 1 hour before departure, takes maybe 1 hour to get to airport, plus whatever time it takes to go from the airport to the hotel. I don't know about the cost differences, but, personally, I would drive rather than fly simply for the convenience.

I did the drive to Phoenix from the LA area a few years ago and it was an enjoyable long weekend trip. If you are only going to be near the hotel and only going for 1-2 nights, sure fly. But if you are going to be longer I would just drive there. Just head east on Interstate 10. Myself, rather than lug bags around with that much weight, I would just get juice and booze at a store near the hotel.
