Delta was offering peanuts as a snack on the plane along with two other choices. I strongly suggest that if you have problems with others eating peanuts, you let the flight attendants know as soon as you get on the plane.

Please don't make the assumption that the whole world has stopped eating peanuts because of a few individuals.

I carry an empty bottle always and have never, ever had any problems. I place it in the bin with my stuff when going through security.
I am not going to rely on the FA's to get me a drink. I do not like waiting, especially if we have a delay. I carry water and buy 2 diet Mountain Dew's anytime I fly (out of DFW).

I wash and cut up an apple and take chicken salad. I have taken those Uncrustables and homemade sandwiches many, many times. I leave them in my bag that goes through the x-ray and have never once had the TSA look at it.

My last international trip, I took some of those crackers and cheese packets and forgot to bring them out of my case. Nada... they did not even bat an eye.
You can take fruit on any flight, you just can't take it off the flight at the destination.
I am notorious for taking food to my destination, including some can items. Just stick those in your checked bags.

PS... A hard boiled egg smells like a
fart.
That would probably gag people on a plane just as much as tuna.

TX--I agree...but traveling with parents is not always the easiest thing

TxTravelPro

Ok, well maybe it smells like an old fart and make sure they are surrounded by family on the plane!

TX--LOL! We were to all sit together, but ended up scattered. So I have no idea if the egg was stinky on the plane or not. Maybe I was lucky

Well once you got close enough to France, no one would have noticed

I carry an empty water bottle too. At Las Vegas it was taken out and thrown away by the screener without even telling me, but I haven't had trouble at any other airports.

The liquid thing is such a bummer because I can't bring yogurt with me anymore! Or peanut butter! I'm a vegetarian and the veggie airline meals are devoid of protein and those were my go-to protein items. Now I bring those little babybel cheeses.

You could bring some cold edamame or maybe a nice veggie pita or wrap with soybean sprouts.
I make a vegan blackeyed pea salad that could be taken on a flight, too.
Put sandwiches, salads and such in a bag and stick it inside your carry on.
I pack in a double layer brown paper bag, just like a school lunch.

Recently, I took sandwiches, apple, fruit snacks and crackers. It was ok. I too carried an empty water bottle. Even orange juices small bottles (sunnyD, kindl of) are also allowed. I took 4-5 with me, and it passed thru security.

suze

bond007- How on earth do those not count as prohibited "liquids"???????????

bond007

even I am surprised. These are small bottles. I guess, they allow less than 3oz size. I just dumped them into backpack and it went thru..
all the best
