You can only take 200 each into India and take the same out :( I believe Bahrain is good for electrical goods though. We were supposed to stop there last year but when we got to the airport were told it was direct .

Hi shazzerallen

Yeah think we have all been told that, the 1st time we went a friend of ours got stopped for having too many cigs, the ''customs man'' said you can pay me £10 or do lots of paper work and pay similar amount :evil: he ended up paying £10 AFTER doing the paperwork as he believed he had been wrongly advised. We have been going to Goa now for 6 years - twice a year some years - and we always buy more and hide then in hand luggage, its a chance you take
:wink:
Good luck

200 cigarettes OR 250 grams of tobacco OR 50 cigars.

Its really not worth buying gigs or tobaco in Bahrain there so cheap in Goa, Depends on what brands you smoke.the Indian ones i buy are called Win, only 600 rps for 200 and are favourable with superkings.Some of the english brands are fakes .Bensons are the worst i think.You can get all the rolling tobaco there very cheap.

Hi Split

Win sounds good as I smoke Superkings Black, but how about Golden Virgina?

I flew with my travel and I wasn't impressed, the cabin staff where useless and everything was too much of a bother for them. AND if you do have the misfortune to fly with them TAKE your own food a stale sandwich is better than the C*** thy literally throw at you.

I will never fly with my travel again or any other name that they go under
