bringing treats on the plane

[bjsmom]

I have not flown recently, but can we pack juice and water and snacks to eat at the hotel, in checked luggage?

YEs, you can put them in your checked luggage, but be careful about going over weight. The airlines have been cracking down on that and will fine you for overweight bags. It might be easier to just buy drinks at a store when you get to your hotel (or have groceries delivered).

Check too with your carrier to see what their weight limit and baggage limitations are. Most allow for about 50 lbs. per bag and two bags per person. If you bring an extra bag or two with snacks/drinks, it will give you space for those souviners on the trip home. Have a great time!

Unless they have lifted the liquid requirements of the total amount of liquid on your carry-on being under 3 oz (I believe), you cannot take drinks through security. Back in January, I accidentally forgot to take a water bottle out of my backpack, and the people at security took it away (oh well, it wasn't important to me cuz the water was for the bus ride to the airport only).

So, no drinks allowed through security, but you can purchase them once in the terminal area and take them on the plane that way.

As far as I know, snacks are still fine and I take some anytime I travel.

Edit: Sorry... thought this was about carry-ons!!! But still good to know! I would still make sure there are no restrictions on checking drinks. However, adding drinks to your checked does add a lot of weight, so really watch that. Most airlines allow 50 lbs max for checked before charging.

When we flew last summer we were able to bring food on the plane, this was right after the restrictions went into place.
We didn't bother with drinks because they always seem to serve a lot on the longer flights.
I plan on having the kids bring snacks in their carry on.
