Wish I had read this in April! I never thought to pack food to eat ON the plane.

We always bring lots of food on the plane. We were once stranded 4 hours on a tarmac and we had plenty of Pop Tarts to sustain us :)

Me too... I ALWAYS take food. Squashed peanut butter sandwiches are real good at about 30,000 ft.! :lol:

Pre-kid, when I had time on my hands, I used to make awesome picnic lunches to eat on the plane.

After our son was born and eating solid foods, I switched to kid-survival-mode and I take a day's worth of food for him so I don't have room for elaborate meals anymore.

Me too...hey, the girl likes to eat. I take pretzels, chex party mix, cheese and crackers, cookies, banana bread, apples, we actually took a container with blueberrys, watermelon, and pineapple on our last trip to St John...yummy, and then we were able to utilize the gladware throughout the trip for food storage...it really got a work out!

My 'personal item' was 100% full of food!

I guess I used to take food on the plane, now that I think about it. When my girls were little - I never went anywhere without food. They are now 29 & 33 and I've forgotten about packing food to eat. I did however have my personal item full of frozen stuff - bison steak, salmon, tuna...

So I have a question. What kind of food can you bring onto the plane? Can I bring a pb&j? Also can you bring sealed boxes of cereal, oatmeals, bars things like that? We haven't flown since 2009 and at that time I brought bottles of water through security without them batting an eye!
