Plane snacks-what do you bring?

[seashell724]

Ok everyone.

What are your favorite snacks to take on a plane with you? Even meal type food ideas would be good.

Depends on the flight.. but we will grab a small banana bread from our local store that we share.. also pretzels.. fruit snacks.. Those are our main food stuffs.. If we are going to be going through a meal.. we will try and bring something.. like a sandwich.. or bagels with creamcheese..

We always take our own sandwiches and simple non messy snacks, gum, suckers, on planes. We buy a drink once we are through security. When the kids were younger we took our own spill proof cups with lids. Easy to do on departing flights from home, a little harder on the return flights but we try and find a sandwich shop or store deli before we board again.

We will flying to Hawaii in a couple of weeks. The second leg is an 8 hour flight that arrives in Honolulu at about 4pm (10pm our time). Plan to try an eat something during our layover---late breakfast or early lunch.

Need ideas for food/snacks to bring on the flight---5 adults and 1 three year old.

Thanks to OP for posting this question.

I try to pick things that won't squish or taste bad if they stay warm a while.

Candy, mints
Cookies/Crackers
Slim Jims/Jerky
Fruit roll-ups or similar
Dry cereal that is tasty such as multi-grain cheerios

I try to avoid salty stuff and others than make one too thirsty... but we always buy drinks after the checkpoint so we are not depending on the arrival of 4 measly ounces of something (and we seem to always be last!)

For longer flights, I like to bring a sandwich and pretzels or pita chips, unless I am flying business/first and will get a meal. I also usually carry something like an extra granola bar, just in case.
