I'm trying to be more sensitive about peanut allergies so I didn't pack any
cheese/PB crackers. Since they don't feed you on an airplane anymore
(except a miniscule bag of pretzels), what would you take to tide you over
in the airport and on a non-stop flight ? I've got some Lorna Doone's
(shortbread cookies) in the carry-on. But I'll be travelling a total of
three hours and I get nervous so I don't usually eat before I get on the
plane. What snacks would you take along?

The air in planes can dehydrate you. The last thing I'd want would be
crackers & cookies. I'd bring those little slices of mini-rye bread designed
for appetizers, some cut up hard cheese, and some cut up oranges or other
juicy fruit like grapes.

They do if you are in first class - including nuts. I was freaking
****ed because they served them to us last Friday and I specifically
called to ask if they did - was treated like an imbiclie by some bimbo
at American because "everyone knows they don't serve nuts anymore." DS
had hives by the time we landed, and we didn't even touch the damn
things.

For three hours, not much. We usually fly cross-country and pack
sandwiches or wraps, pretzels, water, gum (for ascent and descent) and
mints (for that minty fresh breath), graham cracker cookies (Keebler
now makes Bug Bites that are shaped like butterflies and bugs - too
cute, and tasty too!) and maybe soda with caffeine. I always take a
sweet and a salty to make sure I am satiated during the flight - and to
fight off nausea. Alternating the two helps with that.

Just a warning - airport sandwiches suck. I tried to find anything I
would eat at O'Hare on Sunday and resorted to chicken salad on black
whole grain. It was edible but contained chopped raisins and no
veggies- who the heck puts raisins in chicken salad? The turkey clubs
were drenched in Thousand Island dressing (yuck) and soggy, and the ham
sammies were drenched in honey mustard (yuck) and soggy. That's what
you get for $8.00. McDonald's was looking better than most other
selections, but I wouldn't stoop *that* low...

Remember, it's always better to bring too much food than not enough.
You can always toss what you don't eat, or eat it later.

have fun!

Anything with protein and some level of fat.

Sugar's and simple carbs wear off too quickly

Beef Jerky
Salmon Jerky
MRE'S :-)
Dried fruit - Fresh Fruit that are easy to eat like Bananas
Corn Nuts
Almonds
Granola bars
A bottle of water or cold tea or both.

3 hours travel is a 1 hour flight today.

I don't think anything salty is too good - water retention is not good even
on a 3-hour flight.

I usually take along a small sandwich and some fruit. Two melba thin
slices of fresh buttered rye bread, a slice or two of ham, a slice of
Swiss cheese, lettuce and thinly sliced tomato makes for a nice snack.
I actually always take along an extra sandwich, because at times I
have had a very hungry passenger sitting next to me and it is easy to
convince such a person to accept the extra sandwich. ) The fruit
is something like a cut up tart apple or some grapes, nothing that is
difficult to eat on a plane.

I was annoyed with myself I didn't carry on a bottle of water,
so I would do that next time. Your flight is short, if you eat a half a
sandwich while you're waiting to board, you'll be okay. Or a small
Thermos of soup if you have one of those. I always carry on cough
drops and something like Werther's or peppermints, just in case I get the
dreaded shaky 'I have to eat right now' feeling. Or the, 'oh crap, I'm
going to start coughing' feeling. If you have just a little something to
eat
before you board, you'll be okay.

I usually bring a lemonade and some m&m's
if I have a layover I almost always pick up a fruit salad for some reason. I
try to avoid getting anything that has too strong an odor as I was once stuck
on a flight to NYC near a group that had picked up TGIFriday's carry out right
before boarding. It was 8 in the morning.

I always take my own bottle of water. I *refuse* to pay $2 for a bottle of

Yep. I'm thinking of time waiting in the airport to board the plane and
time waiting to be picked up. The flight itself is only 1.5 hours. Thanks,

Cheese (pre-sliced at home) and crackers.
Fruit: banana, apple or pear.
A few bottles of water in case they don't even do a beverage service.
Yogurt?

Yes, it's only a three hour flight--if you're lucky. Have you heard the
(true) horror stories of people in planes sitting on a runway for 8
hours, no food and limited drinks? It has happened.

Remember when plane travel was fun and even luxurious? Hah!

Lynn, I had you specifically in mind when I decided to ask about what to
bring as a snack! I've never flown first class; just a poor pauper here
I have had the misfortune of sitting right behind first class when they
served bacon and eggs and croissants for breakfast and all I got was a lousy
banana. LOL

Oh, your ears bother you too? (the gum) I haven't had problems in recent
years but it used to be so painful upon descent I'd literally cry. I don't
drink soda but I'll have a cup of coffee from the beverage service.

Will do! Thanks for your suggestions! I bought some small bags of cheese
curls for the salty and I've got the shortbread cookies for the sweet.
Might go with Dimitri's suggestion about corn nuts; I love those things.
That plus my own bottled water, I should be good to go. John and I eat up
leftover snacks together

I would avoid bringing smoked chicken salad on flaky croissants. Too
many crumbs, and the aroma is likely to incite any unfortunate, airline
snack consuming neighbors to envy. Live and learn...

Grapes would be good, though, and cheese, and a bottle of water or
iced tea.

Last time I flew and needed food I took a homemade pork loin sandwich on
rye with lettuce, tomato, and mustard. I omitted the onion out of
concern for my fellow passengers. Unfortunately my enjoyment was
somewhat tempered by the covetous glances of my fellow passengers.

To get to your question - carrot sticks and sharp cheddar. Or maybe
grapes and cheese. Apple and cheese?

It really depends on the flight. If its a 4-5 hour flight, for example,
and departure time is around meal time, I will simply eat a sandwich or
something else for dinner at the airport prior to boarding. That will
usually hold me fine for the duration of the flight.

If the flight leaves at a later time, say around 9:00pm, then I might
take a box of crackers to eat and share with whomever I am traveling and
a bottle of spring water.

I really don't need to eat during every flight. I can usually go a few
hours without eating anything, just fine. I just make sure to have a
hearty meal prior to the flight, but for red eye flights when I have to
take some medicine, I need a bite to eat to go with the medicine because
that's what my doctor and pharmacist recommend, so that's when I bring a
snack.

(laughing) I remember sitting on the tarmac at O'Hare, there was no air
running. It was hotter than heck in that plane and they didn't offer us
anything at all. We sat there for two hours. They announced it was "just a
little problem with the hydrolic systems". I'm thinking to myself, isn't
that what controls the wing and tail flaps? Ahem, that's not a *little*
problem!

Indeed I do! On the flight to Bangkok we had smoked duck for dinner. That
was a very nice meal. We weren't even in first class. But then again, this
isn't a 22 hour flight, either

Especially effective if you offer it to other people's CHILDREN and
it's something disgusting like cottage cheese sandwiches with tuna
fish.

Southwest still gives out "snack packs" for flights three hours or longer.
Includes things like cheese sandwich crackers, Oreos, and dried fruit.

But this doesn't allow for the contingency of a multi-hour
delay during which you are trapped on a foodless airplane.

Yeah, I know, but they kept giving me glasses of seltzer,
those little plastic cups. I can drink that much in no time, and
every time we hit a bump, I had to keep the guy next to me from
wearing it. A bottle with a top, I would have liked that.

Just me, of course. I don't like asking the attendants for anything,
just when they come around with the cart.

I know what you mean. I sat on a fully boarded United Airlines plane with no
a.c. for an hour and a half before they finally announced that the reason
for the delay was that the baggage elevator had "scratched" the fuselage,
and we were waiting for an aviation engineer to sign off on the damage.
After another sweaty hour and a half, we finally took off, and the pilot
apologized and announced that all drink service would be free. The flight
turned into a flying coctail party; we ordered drinks two at a time, and
kept the stews running. By the time we got to L.A., most of us were pretty
plastered. When I got off the plane, I ran around to the window to take a
look at the damage to the fuselage. Scratch, my ass; it was a four-foot-long
three-inch-deep crease.

I love making other passengers envious. My last flight, I laid out country
pate, a ripe Camembert, a wedge of Maytag blue cheese, some sharp cheddar,
grapes, strawberries, and toasted slices from a home made baguette. Of
course I selected the white wine from the beverage cart. It was vin VERY
ordinaire, but better than nothing, and somewhat complemented the meal.
Champagne would have been better, but, alas, was not available. It's too bad
the airlines do not permit you to bring your own booze.

String cheese sticks have worked well for me, or those little packets of
cheese and crackers. And be sure to take some bottled water or something
else to drink. I always get thirsty when flying and drinks are a bit
high.

Happy flying! :-)

Food or snack? Food? Apple, bing cherries already washed and in a

candies (Nips are good), chewing gum. Four cans of TaB. Small cans of
V-8. Licorice whips.

I pack all the usual things, an apple, sliced cheese, walnut pieces in
a baggie, etc. but *always* I pack a peeled hard-boiled egg--along
with a separate baggie with a small amount of salt and pepper. (I
staple the two bags together, at the very top edge of the baggies. )

Concern? Consideration. (sorry)

Tempered? My enjoyment would have been heightened by those covetous
glances, Peter. <=8-}

Considering *tomorrow* is not a month from now... dayum, can someone send
this asshole a calendar? And I wish I had as much time as he does
considering how often he changes his nickname and email address. Talk about
too much time on your hands!

No wonder they wanted you to be drunk! LOL I wonder what the pilot,
co-pilot and navigator were having as they prayed the plane would make it to
L.A.!

That's what you TAKE. Tell them what you SEND with a homebound guest.
"You'll be hungry. You must take something to eat on the plane. You'll
starve if you don't. Are you sure you won't take a couple pounds of
pastrami and a pint of olives? There's some shrimp salad -- take it,
you'll be hungry if you don't eat." <cough>

Actually, I always bring my own hard liquor. Those little bottles are
available at the liquor store for $1.60 instead of the five bucks the
airline charges. I keep the empties, and refill them for the next trip at an
even lower unit cost. The little bottle draws no attention on the fold-down
tray, and the stewardess won't remember that you only took a (free) can of
club soda from the cart. I haven't found a source for the wine bottles,
though. Most of the airlines I fly pour wine from a big bottle on the cart,
anyway. I guess I could decant decent wine or champagne into a small thermos
bottle, though.

I looked for some mini bottles of vodka so I could request some tomato juice
or V-8 from the beverage service. The liquor store was out. I did almost
buy a mini bottle of Amaretto di Sarono to add to my coffee
