Can you take sandwiches on a plane 2017




















The best place to pack a sandwich is probably in your under-seat personal item rather than in a carry-on suitcase. There is a chance that your sandwich might be subject to a close inspection at the security checkpoint. You might need to take it out of your bag if it is obstructing the view in the x-ray machine. The TSA officer who inspects your luggage always has the final decision about what is allowed through the checkpoint including food items.

You can pack sandwiches in checked luggage but remember there is always a chance that checked luggage can be lost or delayed. Some foods are prohibited to prevent the introduction of invasive species or diseases into new environments. For example, you cannot bring meat and meat products or dairy into the United Kingdom from outwith the EU. Peanut butter is considered a liquid by the TSA, and Jelly is considered a liquid too.

If a cheese or other foodstuff is spreadable, like cream cheese, peanut butter, or Nutella, then traveling with it in your carry-on means packing in line with that liquids rule explained above unless it's in a sandwich, in which case you should be fine. Cans of cranberry sauce—along with other similarly jiggly and pourable foods—must be in checked luggage. These include gravy, containers of frosting, jams, jellies, soft butter, honey, syrups, salsa, dips, chutney, spreads, soup, pudding, salad dressing, and other food items that resemble these, such as mustard or hummus, which respectively qualify as a spread and a dip.

As always, alcoholic beverages and other liquids are allowed in your carry-on, provided they are in containers of 3. Meats, whether cooked, raw, whole, or sliced, are fine to bring onboard your flight. Nonetheless, be courteous when traveling with meat and seal it up well, with an aim to keep any smells or juices contained. Pack extra packaging materials, just in case the Saran wrap hits a snag. As we discovered in when the TSA found and cleared a pound lobster in luggage , the clawed crustaceans and other frozen seafoods are allowed as carry-on or checked luggage, with proper packaging.

Some airports, like those in Boston and Halifax, even sell ready-to-fly boxes of lobsters, fitting up to ten in one box and packing them with bags of frozen peas instead of ice or gel blocks.

Taking a fresh-baked pie or cake onto a plane may tempt TSA agents into a weak joke about taste-testing, but pies and cakes are allowed as carry-ons, whether whole or sliced. Apple dumplings, cupcakes, brownies, fritters, donuts filled or not , cookies, gingerbread, dry baking mixes, and even fruitcake are okay to fly in the cabin.

They do count as a carry-on item, though, and you may be asked to put them underneath the seat in front of you as opposed to the overhead bin.

Still not finding your answer? In general, we recommend abiding by a version of the "Golden Rule" modified for air travel: Only bring onboard food that you yourself wouldn't mind smelling if someone else brought it onboard. That means you must pack it in a 3. Pack the items in one quart-sized zipper-top plastic bag. If you plan to use ice packs or ice, they must be completely frozen when you reach TSA security screening. Avoid any confiscation by using dry ice. A: Should you need to bring breast milk, juice or formula for your small child, let your TSA officer know at the start of the screening process that you have more than 3.
