When firing overseas, it is useful to eat or drink something while flying. Airlines such as EasyJet, Tui and Ryanair offer a variety of snacks and drinks to buy on-board.
However, if you have to pay, these can be expensive, and if you feed your family, the costs can increase quickly. Thankfully, you are also generally allowed to take your own snacks to the plane, but some items are strictly off limits. Different airlines have different rules, but some restrictions are universal.
This is a list of foods and drinks that you cannot bring with you boarding boards EasyJet, TUI, and other airlines.
TUI passengers will be served food and drinks on flights that last for more than seven hours. On the shorter route, passengers may bring their own food, but there is a trolley service with food and drinks to buy.
Tui suggests that these foods should be “low-risk foods like ready-made sandwiches and snacks,” and its staff say they cannot provide heating facilities for food separate from heating bottles for babies. Passengers are not permitted to consume alcohol that was not purchased on the plane.
EasyJet says passengers are welcome to bring their food onto the ship, but adds that they sell a wide range of foods that customers can buy from their seats. Travel operators also ask customers to be aware of rules that bring certain food types to the country you are flying to.
Information on EasyJet's website states, “You can bring food to your cabin, but you can sell delicious food and drinks on board. There is a 100ml limit for liquid foods such as soups and custard.
“As different countries have different regulations regarding food and drink imports, check the rules for your destination.”
You can also drink hot drinks on your EasyJet flight, but these are purchased at the airport and must be tightly covered for safety reasons.
Ryanair allows passengers to bring food and soft drinks under the “Be careful” policy, but hot and alcoholic drinks are advised on the website.
Meanwhile, JET2 bans both hot food and drinks, with guidance from their website saying, “You cannot bring hot or hot drinks on board aircraft.” However, the operator adds, “We offer an incredible selection of food and drinks to buy during the flight.”
Travelers may not bring in items that, in our reasonable opinion, are not suitable for transportation due to their weight, size, or character, or that are fragile or that could affect the safety, health, or comfort of other passengers and crew members. This can include a hot smell or a drink. ”
And it's worth remembering that no matter what airline you travel with, you won't be able to bring meat or dairy products to the EU under new rules. This is true even if these items are in food such as sandwiches. It doesn't matter if you bought it at the airport or not.
