I'm going to be taking a long, international flight in the following month (I'm studying abroad in Madrid, and very excited about it). I'm not sure I'll get enough to drink on the plane, so I'm wondering if I can bring my own drink, as long as I purchase it past the security checkpoint. Also, can I bring my laptop and iPod on an international flight?

of course you can! as long as it has no illegal substances. In general, yes you can bring your own drink, but you can also get several choices of drinks in the plane cabin, just ask the flight attendant. and of course you can bring your laptop and ipod on an international flight, you can even use them in the plane, but not during take-off or landing.

Better check with your airline. When I took a US flight in late September, I was not allowed to bring any drinks on board even though I purchased it at the snack bar past the security checkpoint.

You are correct, as long as it is purchased past the security check point. Have a nice trip.

(1) Laptops have to be removed from cases and xrayed separately.
(2) Rules on liquids changed recently. Search on your airline's website before making any assumptions.
US eases ban on liquids in air travel
Small portions of products OK'd
By Peter J. Howe, Globe Staff | September 26, 2006
Seven weeks after imposing a ban on nearly all liquids in airline travelers' carry-on bags in response to terrorism fears, US transportation officials today will begin letting passengers carry on small amounts of personal-care products, as well as drinks bought in secured zones of airports.
Starting today, travelers will be allowed to bring 3-ounce containers of health and beauty products such as toothpaste, shampoo, and lotions -- but only enough to fit in a single quart-size, clear bag. Coffee and other beverages, as well as toiletries that are bought at stores between security checkpoints and airline gates, will also be permitted to be carried on .
The Transportation Security Administration had restricted such products and ordered passengers to discard or finish drinks bought at the gate before boarding, after officials in the United Kingdom last month exposed an alleged terrorist plot to blow up 10 trans-Atlantic jetliners using liquid explosives carried onboard in drink containers or smuggled in carry-on luggage.
``After the initial, total ban, we have learned enough from the UK investigation to say with confidence that small, travel-size liquids are safe to bring through security checkpoints in limited numbers," TSA administrator Edmund ``Kip" Hawley said. ``A total ban is not needed from a security point of view."
TSA and airport officials will continue to subject goods being delivered for sale to airport concessionaires to extensive scrutiny. Drugstore products in containers larger than 3 ounces will be allowed in carry-ons if bought from stores in secured areas, TSA spokeswoman Ann Davis said. Some exemptions made last month to the overall ban, which let passengers bring quantities larger than 3 ounces of required prescription medicine, diabetic glucose treatments, and baby formula, remain unchanged.
