Capital International Airport is reminding passengers not to take mooncake boxes containing bottles of alcohol on flights, reports Beijing Youth Daily.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival draws near, many passengers are taking mooncakes onboard with them as gifts for friends and family. At least four or five brands of mooncake gift boxes contain bottles of liquor as well, said airport authorities.

According to aviation security rules, passengers are forbidden from taking any alcohol onto planes. Violators will have to either leave their mooncakes behind or, if time permits, send them through luggage consignment.
