Bringing bottled soda on Air France / Philippine Airlines flight to Manila

Accepted answer

Liquids in checked luggage is generally fine, although there some local rule specifically for alcohol. A few bottles of soda should not pose a problem. You need to pack them properly since the checked baggage gets banged around quite a bit and you should monitor your weight limits.

Carry on is not a good idea. It's very hard to predict whether you will get another security screening during a connection.

Soda is likely to be refused and confiscated if you proffer it as carry-on. Whether this occurs will be up to the security rules imposed at the departure airport.

The way to bring soda to your friend is to buy it post-security but before boarding your last flight segment.

I also considered buying the beverage in the duty-free zone (if available) and bringing it in my carry on luggage, although I then wondered whether that will work considering I have to go through security again at Singapore Changi Airport.

Since no one else has addressed this possibility, security at Changi allow liquids through which have been bought airside and are in sealed tamper evident bags (and subject to the laws of the destination country). Since security at Changi is at the gate, duty free liquids bought at Changi are routinely provided in tamper-evident bags, so security there are used to seeing them. If you are able to buy your soda at duty free in France and they can provide it in a tamper-evident bag, then you have a very good chance of it being allowed through to Manilla (although I can't guarantee it obviously).
