I have a late flight in for my comming trip. Any one know if the place is closed at night? Night as in 11:30pm -12:00am ish... I want to know if I should bring my liquor in my suitcase or pray duty free is open.

Duty Free closes exactly at 9PM.
Bring your own bottle in your checked luggage, wrapped in bubblewrap.

My plane landed at 8:45 PM but our gate was occupied and it was raining so we had to wait for busses to arrive to take us into the arrivals gate area. By the time we got into the airport, it was 9:03 PM and the duty free shops were closed tight.
Got to the hotel and had a few drinks in the bar.
The bar closed and I went to my room and opened a 200 ml bottle of rum from the mini bar at a cost of $16.

Lesson learned.

Thanks for the heads up... been there done that on the bubble wrap. Jager,patron and a few other hard to finds... I miss putting them in my carry on, Never had anyting missing... but theres always a first time. Gracias!!!

There's always a stop at Mas x menos, or buying @ duty free in US, post security...

agree with the mas x menos shopping. Pretty much the same price, and you can get it properly packaged and packed before you go. One less thing to worry about, especially since while they always close exactly on time they often seem to open late, and it can be touch and go on the early flights.
