Maybe he doesn't NEED to........ maybe he WANTS to! If so, what is
wrong with that?

Wonderful! Most of the time, I agree with you. Most of my flights are
short enough that I don't feel the need to take meals onto a plane. But
if it s long flight, what is wrong with bringing something to eat?

Hey... even if it isn't a long flight... if someone wants to take food
on a plane for a short commuter run, so what? It's no skin off my butt.

I once went to Brazil and took a flight between Sao Paolo and another
city.... flight time was 65 minutes. They served a full meal on the
plane.

Where I live, we have a local airport, but the airfare costs twice as
the other airports. The Dallas airport is 3.5 hours away, Houston is 4
hours away and New Orleans is 5 hours away. We do a helluva lot of
driving before we even get to the airport, then we have a 2 hour wait.


Now consider that one of you is gluten intolerant, so no bread,
biscuits, pizza crust, or breaded foods, and the other one is on a low
carb diet. We usually manage to find something to eat before we get to
the airport, but not always, and not on connecting flights. In May, our
flights home from Alaska seemed to take forever, a lot of that was due
to the time change, plus we had connecting flights. We made it to New
Orleans around 11:00 at night and I was pretty tired.


In a few weeks, we are flying to Puerto Rico out of the local airport.
The fares were unreal, but what the heck. lol We will have a lot less
driving.

A lot depends on the layout of your airport.

You can't take a bottle of water or other drink through security
but you CAN take an empty bottle through then fill it at a
drinking fountain or (sometimes) a fast food restaurant on the
other side of security in the gate area.

You could take a sandwich or salad, fruit, raw vegetables,
cookies or brownies. The nearby passengers will thank you for
NOT bringing anything very smelly on board.

The airlines no longer serve peanuts, but I once sat next to a
guy who worked for one of the big food companies (General Mills,
maybe?) and he opened his briefcase and hauled out a large bag of
shelled peanuts, ripped them open and ate the whole thing. (Maybe
his were SPECIAL non-allergenic peanuts?)

I was surprised to get a bag of mixed nuts on a flight from Memphis.
Apparently some airlines don't care about nut allergies.

Yeah, yeah, we've all heard about people being affected by peanut
fumes but who actually knows someone who is?

Internal flights, you allowed to carry bottled water, international
flights, no.

We have two budget airlines, Virgin Blue and Jetstar, that (in a pinch)
will allow to take your own food on board. I also know that AirAsia
(internal in Malaysia) does as well.

You can't bring water through the security checkpoint, but you
can buy water in the terminal, or fill your own bottle from the
fountain, in the US.

I can understand them being a bit more stringent with the rules over your
way.

But here, the only time you can't take water on board for domestic travel
is if your domestic flight is leaving from an international terminal.

Other than that, most of the airlines websites tell you that you can take
your own food and water if you want to.

Here's one example......

http://www.virginblue.com.au/Helpme/...+take+my+own+f
ood+%26+drinks+onboard%3F


http://tinyurl.com/yzz3r6p


But their (domestic) menu is nothing to write home about.......

http://vlicious.realviewtechnologies.com/


Next time I go with them, I'm going to take some hot BBQ'd chicken, or
maybe some fish and chips ;-P

Or I might just set up an antipasto and cheese platter and have a
pickinick :-)


I wonder if they'll give me the 'good glasses' if I take my own wine on
board?? :-)

How about a couple of Power Bar type things - easy to carry, no heat

I'd just eat before takeoff - no?

When we felt that we might get hungry, we usually buy a bag of chips or can
of Pringles at the airport. Order a beer on board, and have a great snack.
I do miss the olden days when we traveled so much that we had upgrades
available pretty much all of the time.

Real food in first class isn't guaranteed anymore. You are lucky to get
free drinks and an upgraded "snack". The hot towels have also seemed to
disappear - guess it doesn't matter if you're eating peanuts!

I cannot... and you point out where I should be alone in my posting.

I am sorry for not being a bigger person.

And yet, I would have you know I will listen to you in your postings.
And I will not judge you. Honestly... If you feel the need to share, I
would like that.

And if I have a reason to post a reply to you, I will certainly share.

Not my opinion, Bobbie, I do fly first class a few times each year.
There are upgrades you can purchase with airline miles. Look into it...

I hear ya, and now that we are retired (unemployed!) and do not travel on
the company dime we do not even get the first class upgrade. Longer flights
are a pleasure just for the bigger seat. I remember the made to order
lunch, unlimited wine, fresh baked cookies, and so on. We always flew
overseas in business class. The relaxing cocktail and appetizers, followed
by a made to order dinner. Service with a genuine smile. Ah, for the good
old days when people had a little class.

How much could they make your lunches and dinner to order on an airplane
without a proper kitchen? Given the bathroom closets on most airplanes, I can't
imagine that any actual food prep has ever taken place on commercial aircrafts.

Well, they managed to do it. And yes, I would think that the bathrooms
could certainly be improved. Especially on long flights. It comes down to
a toaster oven type broiler I suppose. They usually offer a choice of beef,
chicken, fish, and vegetarian. One flight in business had a steak dinner
that we both commented was on par with many steak houses. Virgin Atlantic
business overseas had an excellent menu, and dinner was served when you
wanted it. We liked to wait until the near end of the first movie we would
watch. Either way, the hot nut cup and cocktail followed by the appetizer
tray was very relaxing and pleasant. Our last flight overseas in business
was in October of last year, and it was still good, but not like the old
days.
