Airline food policies
ATA airlines - ATA Airlines will stop serving free snacks and start
selling, for $2.95, snack boxes filled with a granola bar, cookies, crackers and other items. The carrier is also considering selling individual items — bottled water, cookies, potato chips and candy — for $2.95, and a pillow/blanket set for $9.95, spokesman Rick Hightower said. http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/a.../60429001/1003 after contacting ATA i was told that you can bring your own food aboard American Airlines is also charging for food and snacks but you can bring you own food aboard as well http://www.aa.com/apps/utility/siteS...ityNav.jhtml.7 the same with American Eagle, which i do fly often.. http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniont...5american.html united charge for a snack box if the flight is over 850 miles. yo can bring food on, no restrictions. the call center i reached was in india http://travel.simplyquick.com/airlin...-airlines.html Alaska Air state no certain rule how ever if flying to California,, canada or mexico there are certain food you cannot bring into those places. they advised to me call the dept of ag...to find out what food items were taboo us airways . non stated and had to go through call center hell and 3 supervisors ALL OF WHOM COULD BARELY SPEAK ENGLISH...when i asked the supervisor where are you located she told that us airway had hubs in..and she started to name all the hubs. when pressed as to her actual location she finally claimed the philppines... southwest all but no booze allowed. when asked where they were located the agent said they couldn't tell me for security reasons however the supervisor did state that all there call centers are located with in the USA these are the ones that i checked with and while it seems that all American based airlinea will allow food of any type none would allow you bring your own booze on board but some may be checked. El Al would not allow me to take aboard anything that was not kosher, but i suspect that is normal since i am not jewish. but i do not know if that is company policy and or procedure. After pressing ALL of the supervisors i did find out however that after 9-11 most of them did not allow food for a certain period of time due to security etc... so i will concede that i was partially wrong, at least in the time frame. i should have realized that after(or b4)they started to let you carry certain types of scissors back on planes that the food restrictions was lifted as well Below though is from TSA... from TSA Transporting Special Items Transporting Alcoholic Beverages Alcoholic beverages with more than 70% alcohol content (140 proof), including 95% grain alcohol and 150 proof rum, are prohibited from carry-on and checked luggage. Up to 5 liters of alcohol with alcoholic content between 24% and 70% are allowed per person as carry-on or checked luggage if packaged in a sealable bottle or flask. Alcoholic beverages with less than 24% alcoholic content are not subject to hazardous materials regulations. Please check with your airline for any further restrictions. Food and Beverages (at the security checkpoint) Spilled food and beverages can damage security equipment and other passengers' belongings. Consequently, there are restrictions on what you can bring with you to the checkpoint. Food All food must go through the X-ray machine. Do NOT bring food to the security checkpoint unless it is wrapped or in a container. Unpeeled natural foods like fruit are okay, but half-eaten fruits must be wrapped. Beverages You may carry beverages and other liquids in a paper or polystyrene container, (such as Styrofoam), through the metal detector. All other liquid containers, including aluminum, glass, and plastic, must go through the X-ray machine. Liquid containers sent through the X-ray machine must be in either sealed or seal-able/spill-proof containers. Examples of permitted containers include: screw-top bottles or cups, baby bottles with nipples, and plastic containers with snap-on lids. Note: You should consume or dispose of any food or beverage that does not meet these requirements before entering the checkpoint. Grizzman |

We were flying back to Houston from Phoenix and the flight left quite late (bad weather in California where the flight originated). There was a couple seated near us and the gentleman (already three sheets to the wind) and was very unhappy about the late departure and demanded free drinks. The flight attendant accommodated him and anyone else in earshot with free drinks. Chris in Pearland, TX |

Those _Airline_ episodes are all staged, but they are based on real - life happenings... They exaggerate folks' behavior in order to make for more drama, thus better ratings :-) Post - 9/11 there is NO way that bad behavior is the least bit tolerated by airlines. If people acted like those depicted on _Airline_, the jails would be full to bursting with miscreant passengers... Pulling rank, insulting airline staff, being drunk, and otherwise engaging in jerk - off behavior is an absolute guarantee that one "won't be flying" (at the very least) on the particular day when one behaves badly. Cabin and airport staff are empowered to deal with absolute authority to deal with badly - behaved passengers -- and in EVERY case the airline will back up the employees, it's simply enough to cite "security" as a concern in such instances. Case closed... Used to be people could somewhat get away with bad behavior in the air -- no longer. And that's a BIG change for the better... -- Best Greg |

I don't believe you. Even from a logistical standpoint it's pretty obvious that the episodes are staged -- think about it. -- Best Greg |

You do get a few characters on the red eye out of Las Vegas though. I recently flew a few times on British Air to London, Rome, Milan. One the flight from Boston to London they offered a cocktail about 15 minutes into the flight. Then they served wine with dinner and asked if we wanted a second bottle of wine. Then they woke us up about an hour out and we had breakfast. -- Ed http://pages.cthome.net/edhome/ |

Sure, goofy things happen at airports and on planes every day, but there isn't usually a camera crew at the ready to capture them. gloria p |

Some of the participants are pre-staged since they followed up on a strong man competition, Las Vegas lounge act, etc. The rest of the clowns just show up every day. Some airports have millions of passengers a year so it does not take long to find a star of the show. |

They have camera crews at a few airports, shoot tons of video, edit it all down to a few interesting stories.

That's how they make the documentary-style reality shows. They also shoot at multiple airports. Eventually something will happen. Now, it's likely that some of the people ham it up for the camera, but that's not the same thing as staging. It's generally very evident when someone is acting vs. being reasonably natural.
