swordfish1 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 We tend to do the Boots "meal deals" when we go. Most airports have a Boots and not too badly priced for the deal. I think £3.50 for a sandwich, drink and either crisps or a cake bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyfriday Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 We were going to take these on the plane but we were told it wasn't a good idea. Cripes-Snakes on a plane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddycoffee Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I know someone who is a vegan, she always and still takes her own food on planes because she doesn't trust any commercially produced stuff. All you have to do is convince the people that you have special dietary condition and you have to eat food that you have perpared yourself. Then make sure you take something that doesn't look like you have bought it in a shop. The security have every right to make you eat some of it as you clear the security.

Cyclone Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 http://www.manchesterairport.co.uk/manweb.nsf/Content/Departing It says no explosives, it doesn't say no sandwiches. http://www.manchesterairport.co.uk/manweb.nsf/Content/SecurityProcedure This seems a little harsh though Parents WILL be asked to sample baby milk and food and also those people with dietary requirements (these can be any size). Parents have to sample people with special dietary requirements, what does that even mean, it sounds a bit gross. There is no restriction in taking food onto flights, I've taken fruit and crisps onto flights from Manchester before. Maybe the airports website should have been the first place to check though.

fridayfeelin Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 My Partner and I took our own last time we went on holiday from Manchester airport. Make sure they are all wrapped properly though as the staff in the airport may ask you to show them what's inside. I took a pot of marinated olives and chicken, bacon and avocado salad sandwichs and I am so glad I did as when the other passengers were being served alwful food we had loveliness to munch on!

Ghostrider Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 When I came back from Turkey in May, I took sandwiches on the plane. However, at the security desk, they took 2 cans of coke, 800 cigs and 4 litres of raki off of me What annoyed me even more, was that the duty free's on the plane home were cheaper than what I paid in Turkey !!! Wasnt that bad though - yesterday I booked to go back to the same hotel again in october.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
