I know this is from a long time ago, but wanted to say thanks! I have a 26 hour air voyage ahead (Boston to Canberra), and I’ve been pretty worried about starving. While I did request a vegan meal on the last, 16-hour flight, the last two times I’ve officially requested a vegan meal I’ve gotten *nothing*. Before that, I got a tiny plate with three steamed baby carrots, four steamed green beans, and a potato the size of a ping-pong ball. This post is super-helpful. Now I just have to worry about how to avoid soggy bread!

I had thought the same thing! If they did get fussy about them I had enough room to shove them in my liquids bag :0)

That’s great to know, thanks! I’ve wondered about those packets. If anything they’re so small and thin it would be easy to cram them into the 1qt. “liquids” bag.

I’ve had good luck getting the Justin Nut Butter packets through airport security. So far, I’ve only been brave enough to try 3 packets at one time, stashed in my purse, and security hasn’t questioned them. I’m not sure if it is because they are in factory sealed packets or if it is because they are so small.

I’m impressed you managed to get our hummus on board! I’ve been told at several airports that unless it is in the “toiletries” 1 quart bag or cleverly disguised as a sandwich/wrap, hummus & nut butters are “potentially dangerous pastes”.

I’ve not always had luck finding a free, disposable utensil while traveling. Carrying my own means I always have one and I don’t have to throw away another piece of plastic.

What a great post! I once had a disagreement with some airport security officers because I was bringing three large tubs of homemade hummus on board. They kept saying it was a paste. I kept telling them it was hummus. Eventually they gave up.

I like your idea about the airline friendly utensil set. Great idea 🙂
