Drinking on Flights During Covid
Do you enjoy having a glass of wine or a cocktail when you fly?
Have you read that airlines are no longer serving alcohol on flights? Not a big deal to some. To others, it may be.
Since some flyers really enjoy it, they have wondered whether it’s okay to bring their own drinks, cocktails, etc. on the flight. Is it okay to buy a small bottle in the airport once you’re through security and open it on the plane? Is it okay to buy a cocktail in an airport bar and then bring it with you in a plastic cup? Are there any instances where you can drink on the plane?
According to the FAA you may not do that. Why? The serving entity has to be the one holding the liquor license. So, no alcoholic beverages on the plane unless the certificate holder operating the aircraft has served that beverage to the passenger.
Keep in mind, this is for drinking only. Other rules apply to what you have in your carryon or checked luggage.
Maybe in time, rules will change and airlines will go back to serving alcohol. Until then…no wine on the plane.
