.... Actually, they don't get mad. I have done that a few times, bringing sandwiches with me.
TSA only cares about liquids, you can bring all the non-liquid food on you want. If it fits in the scanner (and doesn't show up as liquid), it's all good. Your airline may care about bringing extra carry-ons, but they won't careif you eat it before getting on.
And I've been on a bunch of those short flights, they go up and are cruising for about 20 mins before they start coming down. I bet the cabin crew didn't always make it to the back of the plane anyway before they had to pack it up.
Of all the shitty things airlines do, it might be the least shitty.
They don’t even care if you eat your own food during a flight. The flight attendants only concern is that the tray table is up during takeoff and landing. Aside from that, eat (almost) whatever you want.
In my experience you are right but I wonder how far you could take it... Like there are outlets at most seats in modern airplanes, could I bring a hot plate and make Korean BBQ on the flight?
DO NOT DO THIS! BEST CASE YOU WILL PROBABLY BE INCONVIENCED AND HARESSED, WORST CASE ARESSTED!
I don't think airplane outlets output more than 100Watts
I have no idea, just a funny thought. What if you used your carry-on for like a 30lb turkey and started carving it up like Thanksgiving once you reach coasting altitude?
No carving knives allowed. Otherwise a good plan.
Good point... Wonder if you could get a blender in your carry on. Imagine what would happen if you just started making smoothies mid-flight.
Funny enough, in the 80s my uncle did bring a blender on a flight to Hawaii. Apparently the attendants were totally cool with them using a hand cranked blender to make margaritas for themselves and their neighbors.
Another family member was with him and corroborated the story, so I like to believe it's true.
All I will say is your uncle is a legend!
Oh, that's not going to fit under your seat.
Obviously not, that's what your carry on is for. Under the seat might work for sides or maybe some bisquits...
Your shit will get extra searched if any if the food is in containers they can't scan though. Not exactly convenient to have my bag fully emptied and scrutinized by TSA because I brought Goldfish crackers. Also flights near the Canadian border definitely have food restrictions even if you are flying between US destinations.
Not at all. I boarded lots of planes with food brought from outside the airport. Even international, back to Europe from the USA I went through the controls with some left over chicken no problem.
You know I don't fly and did not think much about the liquid restriction but this kinda makes me think they should always provide water, coffee, tea, pop, and other cheap options.
You should always be able to get water for free on a plane
Most airports have the water bottle fillers you can fill for free, but most everything else has airport pricing.
Also, some forms of chai look very similar to explosives with their new scanners.
Yep. TSA didn't care about the Teamsters sandwiches, just the Teamsters dipping sauce.
They don't even care about ice. So I bring ice through TSA and just fill up the bottle after I get through.
So, big block of ice?
True, BUT, I’ve seen them tell a guy that a salami was a liquid and confiscate it.
well, they are putting more water in mass market cold cuts these days....
I've been on a few Delta flights, and I often bring snacks. I think I brought a muffin on and ate it on one. They don't care. I don't know why they would either.
