On five British charter flights I have never yet seen anyone stopped. Either they (correctly) assume that all Brits are totally honest or they (almost correctly) think that our little island is as poor as theirs and there is nothing we could bring in.
I usually talk to some family with kids going through and the officials think I am the grandfather. This last trip I had to pass through with the Thunderstars who are as suspicious looking as anyone could be. They have "criminal perverts" written all over them, but we still made it through without trouble although Thunderstar's suitcase was bulging with vibrators, handcuffs, whips and other holiday necessities.
Leaving out of New York is getting a bottle or two of liquor in carryon a problem - either leaving states - or once in DR (import tax)?
In DR I figure I'll just do the "walk right by - like you know where you're going" thing.
Don't trust AA to handle my bags (at least from what I've read) - but wanna take my own bar setup - I get a deal on liquor thru buddy.
last week i was asked 3 times for a tip by the customs agent in POP once i picked up my luggage.....i acted like i didn't understand what he was asking and kept it moving....
I get searched LEAVING SDQ everytime.......it's the 10 bags of coffee in my backpack. I load it on top, have the receipt with it too. The FYI: They use coffee to move coke...
I tip everyone EXCEPT Customs!
Just walk right by them without making eye contact. If they stop you so be it.
there are times when i walk right through...no harm no foul, and there are times when they search me and my bags like im a major drug runner out of the DR????? once there done i just say thanks and keep walking... i have nothing to be afraid of so they can search whatever they want quite frankly.
i wouldn't suggest paying any currency to any official at the airport! even if they asked for it. i would just go through what ever search procedure they wanted to conduct...if one of the officials wants to be an asshole they can try and charge you with "bribeing an agent" or something and who needs that headache!
