Hi,
I've been reading that when leaving from Punta Cana airport in DR, that absolutely no liquids are allowed - not even little bottles in a clear plastic bag - and it all has to go into your suitcase.
Does anyone know if this is true?
Thanks
Lisa
Hi Lisa,
Yes it is true we fly in and out of Puerto Plata in the North, only medical liquids in original chemist packaging are allowed in hand luggage. One year hubby had his toothpaste taken out of hand luggage. Not even little bottles in the clear plastic bag, as done on the way out is allowed. Everything has to be packed in hold luggage.
Its every airport in the Dom. Rep.

We are going with Thomas Cook airlines to POP in July. Can you still buy bottled water etc airside to take on board? Can you get supplies like lip balm airside - can't live without it 
Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot
Thanks for your help Angie.....I would guess (hope!) that our baby's milk will be allowed on and classed in some round about way as medical?....otherwise I'd hate to be sat next to us on th
e plane lol!??

When I got home from Dom Rep Punta Cana airport in December i found I still had a bottle of coke in my rucksack, I didn't know it was in until I got home so nothing had spotted it. They do charge you for being over weight with your cases, its about 20 dollars a kilo. We have a Lakeland Plastics luggage digi scales and they are great saved us a fortune, we took out 5 kilos and put it in a spare rucksack.
Hi again Lisa,
Baby milk and baby juice O.K. If you did'nt have that with you I woud'nt like to be the one sat next to you!!!!!LOL
Hi jaimec,
Yes you can still buy bottled water, supplies of lip balm airside etc, etc. No probs once you are through security, you can buy what you like.Whatever takes your fancy

I slipped an all plastic lip balm in my pocket, no metal so it didn't set off the alarm, it was very runny though due to being so close to my body in the heat. I'm not sure if you would get one in the shops air-side apart from maybe one of the very expensive designer brands in duty free. Punta Cana is a lovely airport but it doesn't have many shops.
Yes there are loads of shops airside at POP, a very large perfume and aftershave shop,(downstairs) many souvenir shops and cigarettes/booze shops.Upstairs there are a few more and a cafe in the departure lounge.
Dont know how things are going to look this year though as the airport is going through a referb. I believe!!

Thanks Angie! 
It's me the pest again 
I need to take creams for eczema with me on the plane (moisturising and steriod creams from my GP) If I kept them in the box with the pharmacists label on will this do or would I be best asking my GP for a letter also?
Sorry for another question I had forgotton about my creams!

Hi jaimec,
Your not a pest Yep keep them in the original box and then into your see-through plastic bag for going through security, everything will be fine.
Now sit back and relax and take a deep breath, dont get yourself stressed
Just keep getting in touch, I dont mind.

its stress that has brought the eczema out This holiday is for me to 'relax' though I don't seem to know what that word is lately!! 
Thanks again Angie......from the pest
Don't forget you can put most creams and liquids in your hold luggage. You only need to take things you're going to use during the flight in your hand luggage
Thanks Shirley, I couldn't go 7ish hours without my creams at the mo though lol
As its 100ml max for each item in the liquids bag, how does 30g & 50g tubes of cream work then? see im more confused again
(sorry!!)

Hi there
Just returned from POP this morning. Was told at welcome meeting no liquids apart from prescribed medicine & baby supplies.... Well went through with bottle each of piriton and calpol, bottle of water and 2 bottles of 7up. To be honest we didnt know about the 7up until i looked in my daughters bag after passing security. No one noticed any of these items as not one of our bags were opened and no one asked.
So much for security!!!
And yes they are doing a refurb but everything is still open.
