You can't bring 'soft cheese' into the US. I even declared it as cheese on the US customs form...as per usual the US customs officer was only interested in my tea bags.

Welcome back....
It's a simple solution to not having to pay for an upgrade, wear the same clothes for 11 days nobody will sit near you on the plane, you get 3 or 4 seats to yourself!

So far, all I'm bringing back is a ton of M&S underwear (after 27 years, I'm still using only M&S ), some twiglets, and some crisps (potatoe chips). I have room if you want to bribe me ...
