Hey guys! So, I’m about to jet off from Antalya to Germany real soon, but here’s the kicker – turns out I can’t bring these awesome sealed bottles of olive oil (180ml, 200ml, 250ml) I snagged as gifts for my fam because of those pesky liquid restrictions. The airline wants to charge me a whopping 40€ to chuck in a 15kg checked bag, and that’s just way too much for a couple of bottles of oil, am I right?
Do any of my fellow budget travelers out there have any tips on how to tackle this sticky situation? I’m all ears for any creative ideas or personal experiences you guys have had. Has anyone ever tried asking another traveler with a checked bag for a hand? I’m curious if that’s a thing. Or maybe some of you have dabbled in finding a cheap shipping method from Turkey – any insights on that?
I did a bit of digging myself, but everything seemed pretty complex and not exactly budget-friendly. Oh, and quick side note: I’ve got this Deutschlandticket, so if any of you lovely folks are flying from Antalya to Germany and wouldn’t mind bringing my olive oil goodies in your luggage, I’m more than happy to meet you anywhere in Germany. And, of course, I’d be more than willing to slip you a little thank you for your trouble. Thanks a million in advance, pals!
