What Tui, Jet2, Ryanair and EasyJet say about taking food on planes

With the summer holidays just around the corner, lots of Brits will be planning a trip abroad in the coming weeks. But even if you’ve bagged yourself a cheap ticket, all the additional costs that come with flying soon add up.

One way to save money is by preparing a snack for your journey at home, so you don’t have to spend money in the airport, BirminghamLive reports. There are certain rules when it comes to bringing food inside your hand luggage that you need to follow.

At most airports you cannot take any liquids over 100ml through security and liquids of 100ml and under need to be in a sealed plastic bag. This can include some food such as jam, chutney or yoghurt.
