Food through security

[Kanga1]

Can I take food (not beverages) through security and onto the plane? I'm talking bananas, crackers, goldfish, maybe a muffin?

And am I right that I can buy a bottle of water once "through" security and take on the plane?

You can take just about any food that isn't gel-like. So, the food you mentioned should be fine. And yes, you can buy bottled water after you get through security and then take it on the plane. We always have crackers with us. And we buy something more substantial when we get to the gate area, after security....especially if traveling in the early morning.

Thanks Goofy for the quick reply! One more question...what about candy like "gummy bears?" Is that considered "gel-like?" Can I take that through security? My DD likes to suck on them and would help with her ears.

You should be fine with the gummies. They more of a solid than a gel. Jello, yogurt, things like that are a no. But gummies and other candies should be fine.
