Holiday season is coming up! Do you have your holiday packing list ready? Whether you're traveling for vacation or business trips, the flight can be boring if you just sit around without snacks. Include some snacks into your hand carry, especially if you're expecting a long flight.
Don't be embarrassed to bring snacks on board as it not only helps you to prevent going hungry while flying but also provides the best savings. Additionally, food sold in airports and aeroplanes can be 1.5-2x pricier, its more economical to carry some nibbles from home.
What kind of food can’t be carried on board?
Passengers are allowed to bring almost all kinds of food on flights, excluding drinks and liquid foods larger than 100ml. Since certain types of foods with strong aromas like durian, jackfruit, and fermented foods like kimchi could bother other passengers, they are not allowed to be carried on board.
