Anyone know how with traveling duty free alcohol works with a connecting flight? Flying from JFK > LAX > PPT (Tahiti) and plan to buy at JFK because the store at LAX will be closed during layover.

Traveling to Tahiti / Bora Bora soon and was told to bring some alcohol from duty free to cutdown on $

You’ll likely won’t be able. To buy alcohol in an airport you need to show a boarding pass to an international destination (can’t be domestic). I’m pretty sure JFK will ask for your PPT boarding pass to be from JFK, and won’t accept that it’s from LAX

All this within the boarding area of course

You could try… they will ask you your flight information. But last time I got duty free liquor they delivered it plane side so I’m not sure if that would work with a connecting flight.

Thinking it’s worth the try!

Sure, BAH1. That’s definitely another option. The point for me was just that bringing booze definitely helps, regardless of how you get it there.

It will be delivered planeside in the US because international areas are not sterile from a customs standpoint. You can, however, bring back duty-free from PPT even in your carry-on for your domestic leg if it's in a STEB with receipt.

Someone from duty free comes to the gate and distributes the duty free purchases before you board your flight from JFK. To the original point, not sure if you would be able to purchase in JFK since your departing flight is domestic.

You won’t be able to buy at JFK
