I like to bring real croissants (put them in a ziploc) plus whatever I want to put on them in a separate ziploc bag (usually ham and swiss--but chicken breast is good too) along with a few packets of mustard and mayo swiped from a local fast food place (did I say that?). Put 'em together on the plane. I can't wait for the plane to take off and the drinks to start. I really agree with the dark chocolate and sharp cheese (solid cheddar and parmesan top my list) along with some red wine. It's just too bad I can't bring what I like because that red wine on the airlines is absolute swill. Smart idea about bringing an empty water bottle and filling it after the inquisition.

A large jar of boutique jam, parmesan dipping oil, and pesto sauce I was bringing back from a CA winery was nearly discarded. The regulations say you may bring "food" aboard, but they look askance if your food is "watery". Best defense?? Be friendly, understanding of the TSAs situation, and say you thought food was exempted and that you're very sorry (you can point out it's for gifts, expensive, etc.) and they (grudgingly) may let you through "this time". I've never had any trouble with a sandwich in a purse (or computer carryon). Actually, I think they're super-bored and just looking for something to justify their existence. Once they've discovered something and made their observation, it gives their job temporary meaning. I mean, can you imagine doing that day after day? I understand the caution about bringing food.

Once beyond security, I just fill it from a water fountain. Beats paying terminal prices. On several flights I’ve taken an EMPTY water bottle in my carry-on through security.

I have found these things hold up well for carry-on food when flying: Peanut butter (low-fat) & jelly (sugar-free) sandwiches Apples Kashi energy bars M&Ms Nuts I also bring an empty water bottle & fill it up at the water fountain (in USA) when I pass security, as I am tired of buying a new bottle of water with every flight connection!

I wish people would eat their Burger King before getting on the plane. The smell travels like a bad disease. Until the NW/DL merger is complete I have to stop for a bottle or two of Coca Cola as NW only serves South Carolina sugar water.

They don't allow it anymore, unless it is bought AT the airport. I have had numerous items thrown away. I don’t know how you all are bringing food.

Usually I also bring a ham sandwich. I like strips of red and orange bell peppers. Usually I also bring a ham sandwich.
