Delaine Ross Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I'm flying into Orlando this morning and am staying Wed-Sat at the Embassy Suites INSIDE the airport for a conference. No sunlight for 4 days but worse than that the choices are airport food court food or ridiculously expensive hotel food (I'm talking a $35 breakfast buffet that you're only eating bacon and eggs from. How many days would it take to eat $35 worth of (factory raised-ew) bacon and eggs!?!) In case you're wondering, I had no problem getting the following on the plane: 1. Canned coconut milk 2. Oranges 3. Vacuum sealed meals 4. Aidells sausages Pretty stoked! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura B Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 That is awesome! Was it all in your carry on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delaine Ross Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 It's my "personal item" - instead of a purse I'm carrying an insulated Trader Joe's bag. What a dork am I? (It's ok, I've come to grips with it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delaine Ross Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 A friend showed me these. They are kind of expensive but after this trip I may splurge and grab one! (Instead of protein powders we can put in BCAA's - haha. Except the one without sucralose tastes like powdered earwax) http://sixpackbags.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pack it for my husband almost every day. It's totally worth the $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopetc Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 It's my "personal item" - instead of a purse I'm carrying an insulated Trader Joe's bag. What a dork am I? (It's ok, I've come to grips with it.) I believe (at least on american) you are allowed 'a bag of food to be consumed on the flight' in addition to your personal item and carryon.

Andrea D. Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I would have to say I'm pretty surprised at the canned coconut milk making it through security...I must have been solid enough not to show up on the scanners as a liquid??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delaine Ross Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Andrea- I think it's bc it's in a sealed container. I thought the same thing but I accidentally flew 3 trips with a carton of Arroy-d milk in a pocket I forgot existed in my bookbag and then surprisingly found it one day. It had made it on 6 flights.

Andrea D. Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 It still has to be 3 ounces or less to carry on (I'm a flight attendant)...I think they just missed it which unfortunately is not uncommon. Disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rara1982 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 im a flight attendant too and depending on what ports i fly in and out of i've worked out what i can get through security... and if I've worked it out then i imagine others have too which worries me - I'm not sure everyone wants to sneak something as harmless as coconut milk on board!

JillinSC Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I'm flying on a 3-day biz trip in the middle of my planned whole 30. For lunch I usually make up a batch of mason jar salads. Do you think I could get these on a plane if I have the dressing in a separate container in with my toiletry liquids? Or do you think I'd do better with single ingredients thinks like chicken, hardboiled eggs, avocados? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura_juggles Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Single ingredients would probably be better. Will your hotel room have a minifridge? You could do some shopping while you're there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as stylish maybe but they make lots of insulated lunch boxes; one example: http://amzn.to/2CTEBAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
