Planning a flight soon with easyJet, TUI, Ryanair, or Jet2? If you’re thinking about packing some snacks, keep these airline rules in mind. Most of them are cool with you bringing food onboard, but there are some definite no-nos when it comes to hot items, liquids, and alcohol.
1. **TUI**: On flights over seven hours, you’ll get a meal and refreshments. Shorter flights offer a trolley service for you to buy stuff, but you can still bring your own! Aim for pre-made sandwiches or cold snacks, as they can’t heat up your food except for warming baby bottles. And remember, you can consume only alcohol purchased on the plane.
2. **easyJet**: Feel free to bring your own food! They also remind you of their fab menu available to buy during your flight. Just keep in mind, there’s a 100ml limit on liquid foods and your destination might have specific food import rules. Hot drinks are okay but only if bought at the airport with a secure lid.
3. **Ryanair**: You can bring food and soft drinks on board, but hot drinks and your own alcohol are off-limits. Enjoy what you bring, just no heating, and no sneaky sips of pre-flight booze!
4. **Jet2**: Don’t even think about bringing hot food or drinks! They’re strict on keeping things cool, but offer a variety of goodies to buy on the flight. Items that might overwhelm the senses, like strong-smelling foods, are best left at home.
One more thing to chew on—if your travels take you to the EU, leave any meat or dairy products at home. Current rules don’t allow these, even in sandwiches, whether bought at the airport or elsewhere.
So pack wisely and stay informed to maximise your onboard munching without any surprises! Safe travels and happy snacking! ✈️🥪🍎
