Airline FAQs
CAN I BRING BEER ON THE FLIGHT?
We’re afraid not, but we’ll have plenty of awesome BrewDog beer available on the plane!
You’re allowed to bring a clear plastic bag of liquids, aerosols, gels, creams and pastes in your carry-on bag and through the checkpoint. These are limited to travel-sized containers that are 100 millilitres or less per item. Placing these items in the small bag and separating from your carry-on baggage facilitates the screening process. Pack items that are in containers larger than 100 millilitres in checked baggage. Any liquid, aerosol, gel, cream or paste that alarms during screening will require additional screening.
Basically, the same as you’d expect at the airport when boarding a plane for your summer hols!
CAN I TAKE MY DOG?
As much as we love dogs at BrewDog, it wouldn’t be fair to our canine friends to take them on the plane for such a short trip abroad, so will have to say no to bringing dogs aboard.
CAN I STAY IN A DIFFERENT HOTEL
This beery adventure is being offered as a packaged price, and therefore it is not possible book your own hotel.
You can also choose to to stay for one night at The DogHouse, our craft beer hotel, for a supplementary fee. We’ll send out an email at a later date with details on how to arrange this!
CAN I FLY THERE/HOME WITH A DIFFERENT AIRLINE?
As the trip is being offered as a package, both flights are included in the price, so you won’t be able to get a discounted fare if you do not use both legs of your flight. And would you really want to forfeit one of your flights on the world’s first craft beer airline!?
If you do wish to extend your stay in the USA and will not be flying on one leg of the journey on BrewDog Airlines then please let us know a minimum of 14 days in advance of flying so we can fill your empty seat with extra beer!
WHAT HAPPENS IF I CANNOT FLY?
Tickets are unfortunately non-refundable. Should you be unable to travel however, it will be possible to transfer the ticket to another Equity Punk or their guest of your choosing up to 14 days before the flight. All guests must be travelling with an Equity Punk.
WHO CAN I CONTACT IF I WANT TO CHANGE MY BOOKING?
Sling us an email at hello@brewdog.com if you’ve got any questions!
WHAT CAN I TAKE ONBOARD?
In addition to your hold luggage (1 item, max 20kg per person). You can take 1 handbag/laptop bag plus 1 additional cabin bag (max. 5kg and up to 56 x 45 x 25cm / 22 x 18 x 10in) Normal flight rules apply with regard to prohibited items More information can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/hand-luggage-restrictions
WHEN CAN I CHECK-IN?
You’ll be required to check-in in person on the day of the flight and all guests are required to be at airport to check-in 2 hours prior to take-off!
WHEN WILL YOU ISSUE A BOARDING PASS OR TICKET?
Your confirmation email contains your ref number, and along with your passport ID, this is all that is required to check-in. Check in instructions will be emailed to you closer to the flight date. We’ll issue you with your very own beery boarding pass when you check-in at the airport.
HOW DO I KNOW IF THE BOOKING HAS BEEN RECEIVED AND CONFIRMED?
Your confirmation email will contain your ref number which is your confirmation that your flight booking has been received and your seat is secured! If you’ve got any further questions pop us an email at hello@brewdog.com
WHAT IF I REALISE MY DETAILS ARE INCORRECT?
Don’t worry, pop us an email ASAP on hello@brewdog.com and we’ll try to sort it!
THE TICKETS HAVE SOLD OUT! CAN I BE ADDED TO ADDED TO A WAITING LIST?
Of course! Please use the ‘add to waiting list’ sign up form on the website if you want us to let you know of future flights or if a seat becomes available on our maiden voyage.
WHAT DOCUMENTS DO I NEED TO TRAVEL?
In order to travel to the USA you are required to carry a valid passport along with a valid ETSA. Please visit https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/ to apply for your ESTA if you do not already hold one, as this is required in order for you to access the United States. It is your responsibility to have a valid ETSA and if you do not have one you will not be allowed to board the plane and no refund will be given.
DO I NEED TRAVEL INSURANCE?
Travel insurance covers you against any cost or losses if something should go wrong when you’re on holiday. Whether you’re travelling abroad or in the UK, travel insurance helps you if your holiday plans are disrupted or your accommodation gets cancelled, and is essential in the event that you injure yourself or if your possessions are stolen, lost, or damaged while travelling.
So yea, make sure you take some out!
