Are you planning to travel this summer and looking to save money while on the go? One of the best ways to do this is to bring your own snacks to the airport. But can you do this?
The UK government states that you can indeed bring snacks through security; however, it may cause delays as the x-ray machines may be unable to read the images due to the food items in your hand luggage. To avoid this, you can put the food items in your hold luggage.
EasyJet, Ryanair, and TUI allow passengers to bring their own snacks on board, however, there are some limitations. EasyJet advises that liquid food items, such as soup or custard, have a maximum of 100ml. Furthermore, different countries have different regulations regarding imported food and drink, so make sure you check the rules for your destination. Ryanair prohibits passengers from bringing hot drinks or consuming their own alcohol during the flight, while TUI advises that food items and powders can block x-ray images and so should be put in hold luggage. Jet2 is the only airline that has its own rules which state that passengers may not bring hot food or hot drinks onboard the aircraft.
So, if you’re looking to save some money while travelling this summer, bringing your own snacks to the airport is a great idea. Just make sure you are aware of the airline’s regulations and the rules for your destination.
