I’d say Milano cookies (double chocolate) and roasted sunflower seeds and KitKats

Peanut butter crackers, peanut M&M’s.

Cheerios. My youth group and I were on a 4 hour flight and the guy sitting next to me brought a big box of them in his carry on. We finished them together in about ten minutes.

I take the same stuff every time: parmesan Goldfish crackers, yogurt covered pretzels, Haribo gummi bears, apples.

I thought you weren’t allowed to bring food on airplanes….?

On my way to the airport I have the driver stop at my favorite deli and I bring on amazing sandwiches. I get lots of jealous looks on the plane.

@sarah826, for most domestic American flights, meals are no longer served, so people have been bringing food on board. I think Continental still serves meals for flights over 3 hours. I don’t know if one has to pay for them, though.

I bring a sandwich and a piece of fruit. The carrier I usually fly provides corn chips and some other snacks and diet Coke for free, so I’m good with that.

You do what other people do when i fly that just happen to be seated next to me. You get the smelliest food that you possibly can such as a good strong cheese. Then take ¾’s of an hour to eat it…loudly…Then proceed to burp it into the air conditioning ensuring the rest of the flight i feel queasy. Bon Appetit!

Man i hate flying.

Seriously though, i make my own trail mix, good dried fruit and nuts. Delicious.

That is why I hate flying. My youngest has a nut allergy and most of the answers on this thread people seem to take onboard something with nuts.

@unit It’s ok I never share my trail mix with small children.

unit's avatar

I feel happier now, cheers mate

FishGutsDale's avatar

@unit hahaha glad i could help! In all seriousness though it would be super difficult monitoring that.

unit's avatar

It is a problem agreed. But most airlines try to have a no nut policy , but dont guarantee it, which I can understand.

@unit Last time I was on an airplane they served nuts as a snack. Unfortunately it’s more or less the parent’s responsibilty to make sure their child doesn’t ingest anything they’re allergic to.

I am totally aware of that and carry epipens onboard. To be honest the last flight I went on to Spain. I told the Stewards and they did take away nut snacks from the trollies and made an announcement over the tanoy.

Worst snack to take on a plane:
I flew from Spain to Scotland and I brought an orange and a can of tuna in olive oil (legit snack in Spain). These are probably the two most strong smelling foods possible. The Scottish lady next to me got a kick out of it.

I almost forgot this story!
We my lovely/dysfunctional youth group and I flew to Georgia a few summers ago, and our pastor brought a box of pizza to split between us. We got delayed on the runway for about an hour, so he decided to hand out the pizza then instead of waiting.
The guy next to us jumped up, took his work shirt and hat out of his carry on and announces “I work at Dominos! Let me deliver!”, then takes the pizza and carried the box to each of us so we could take our slice.
We ended up giving him the last slice and got yelled at by the flight attendant for being “rowdy”
3 hours later- we took off.

For some reason, I’ve really gotten back into Cheddar Cheese pretzel Combos these days. I have no idea why – I haven’t eaten those things since the 1980’s. I’ve just started to crave them when I travel. That, and fancy baked goods/ bulk items from Whole Foods makes me feel more civilized than begging for extra bags of peanuts…
