What are some foods I can pack for my husband that he can take on an Airplane?

Question

He will be on the airplane for 12 hours and he hates Airplane food, and the food at the Air Porte is WAY to expencive and not that great eather (he will be overseas most of the time, they don't always have good food). Is there food I can make him to bring with him, I know they have lots of rules about what you can and can not bring.

Answer 1

Check the TSA list for foods that are allowed go to through security.

However, you can bring on any food that you buy after you go through security; contrary to the above post, you *can* bring on liquids that you buy after security IF you are departing from the US. (Other airports may have different rules.)

Answer 2

Any food that has NO LIQUID of any kind (sauces, watery substances). Dry foods are allowed. You can pack him chips, cookies, hard candies, sandwich with NO mayo or musturd, Salads (no dressing), A hot dog (no ketchup), steak, rice, chicken, hamburger, whatever you can fit in your tupperware. Remember, NO LIQUIDS of any kind. I always take Hawaiian Airlines or ATA Airlines (since I live in Hawaii) they are generous when it comes to food but....they do not give much to drink. They always give small amounts of water, soda & juice. During my flight times, I felt DEHYDRATED. There's no drinks allowed on board unless you have some kind of health/sickness issue where a doctor's note will be needed.

Answer 3

I normally bring aboard a 32oz Hip Flask of Scotch Whisky.

Starkist has vacuum sealed Tuna paks. There are other similar products, in the same area, at the store where you shop.
