Can you bring alcohol on PLAY airlines?

12.4. 1 You are not allowed to consume alcohol aboard an aircraft (whether purchased as duty free from us or someone else or otherwise obtained) unless it has been served to you by us.



Like most low-cost carriers in 2026, PLAY airlines allows you to bring alcohol on board in your carry-on or checked luggage, but there are strict rules about its consumption. If you are carrying it in your hand luggage, it must be purchased after the security checkpoint at the Duty-Free shop and must remain sealed in a "Steb" (security-tamper-evident) bag for the duration of the flight. You are strictly prohibited from consuming your own alcohol while on the plane; all alcohol consumed during the flight must be purchased from the airline's onboard "PAY" menu. This is a safety regulation that allows the crew to monitor passenger intoxication levels. If you pack alcohol in your checked bag, it must comply with standard liquid limits (usually up to 5 liters for beverages between 24% and 70% ABV). In 2026, PLAY’s crews are particularly vigilant about "stealth drinking," so save your duty-free Gin for your destination to avoid potential fines or being met by airport security upon landing.
