My father purchased 2 bottles of Champagne in Paris at the Duty free shop for $100.00 and was allowed to carry them in the cabin along with perfume for my wife ( bigger than 3oz). When he arrived in NY JFK to switch to a plane to Tampa, Fl the security took the champagne away but not the perfume. First why was he allowed to carry on those on a transatlantic flight when a domestic one took them! Second he is 80 and the personnel should have helped him to make sure that somehow his expensive celebratory gift to his son's family that he hadn't seen in years would make it thru to the destination and not in your personnel's glasses at home! I am outraged and demand someone get in touch with me to settle this. I will continue this until it happens. He was totally misled about the carrying of the bottles on the plane.
