Taking alcohol on board

[capnpugwash]

Sorry to ask this but the search function is disabled so I just want to know whether or not I am allowed to take some vodka on board and if not how strictly is the ban enforced. Thanks.

 

I think I found the answer on the South African site to be that I can't, but is it enforced in Cape Town?

Can't take anything on board. Not even wine as other lines allow. Look into the vouchers for drinks.
