Traveling to Canada from the uk. Finding the duty free allowances confusing.

Hi there

I am visiting your lovely country this weekend.

I plan to buy some alcohol from duty free airport in the uk.

I understand that Canada limits to spirits to arround 1L per person.

Question 1: if I’m within the allowed limits - do I declare this?

Question 2: if I buy let’s say 4 litres of gin at uk airport duty free, do I need to declare that as they are not in my hold luggage but hand luggage?

Idea is that hoping to bring the alcohol back to me in the uk.

Question 3: if I fill out the advanced declaration via the app, let’s say I am not taking any and say I’m not taking any, and at duty free I buy some within the limits, would I have to update this at the kiosk/gate at customs?

Normally when I land at any airports, they check your passport and let you go on your way to get your hold luggage. No one has ever stopped me for checking my cabin bags or duty free.

Plus if you did buy at duty free, and put it in hand luggage, how would they know?

I’m just trying to understand the process here

Thanks in advance

Visiting in 3 weeks. Need travel advice to the island and mountains.

Hi - I’m visiting my family in Vancouver but I’ll not be using them for transport - I’ll be doing my own thing for 2 weeks.

However I’m a bit confused what sort of travel cards I need to buy? As there is seabus and all sorts. I’m unsure if I need to hire a car or not.

I’ll be going around W12th Avenue going to Stanley, Yaletown, Burnaby, mount Seymour, Victoria island.

Plane, train, boat, bus, car?

Help!

Thanks

Help! American Airlines operated by British Airways

Hi there. So my sister has booked some flights so I can visit her.

I’m confused with all the different luggage sizes and which policies to follow. Cabin sizes for BA differ to AA.

Same with hold luggage. AA have a total dimension whereas BA don’t, and to confuse it further BA don’t specify which measurement is the height or length and Ai is providing confusing answers.

Question 2: how can I manage the flight as I’m a named passenger but not the one who made the booking and want to put my lunch meal request and buy luggage allowance.

Can someone help me please. As it’s giving me some worries and stressing me out. 3 weeks to go

Many thanks
