Can you carry champagne in your luggage ?

As in your suitcase, that goes in the hold?

Ive googled it and there are conflicting answers...

Thompson flight (if that matters)

Yes, but it's not the best idea in the world.

Is there no chance of buying a bottle when you get where you're going ?

Fairly regularly... never had a problem. BUT if I were putting it in same bag as my clothes, I'd probably be wrapping it carefully to protect against knocks and sealing it inside a plastic bag with no holes in.

It stands more chance of getting nicked than popping !

I had 400 ciggies and 2 bottles of good (but strangely cheap - hence why I bought them) nicked on a flight from Amsterdam a couple of years ago ...

At least BA refunded me ... but at cost

Bag not locked ? Or one of those that are really easy to get into ?

Was not locked no ... my own fault on that front ... But I used to travel for work a lot and had never had a problem before

How did you manage to get BA to refund ? Produce receipts, etc ?

Did you notice at the airport or only when you got home ?

At the airport. Got bag from carousel and noticed it was open. Checked it and then went to BA desk airside with receipts.
