Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2, TUI and Emirates food and drink rules - what you can and can't take on board
Share:
Purchasing meals on flights can be costly, especially for families, leading many travellers to opt for buying their meals in the departure lounge prior to boarding. Boots and WHSmith are common airport stores that offer meal deals typically under £5. Some passengers even choose to bring homemade snacks for their journey, which you can do, provided they aren't liquid and are consumed before disembarking, as different countries may have varying customs rules about food.
The post-Covid era has brought numerous changes to flying, including alterations to in-flight service which may vary based on factors like flight duration, specific airline, and cabin class. Airlines such as easyJet, Ryanair, TUI, and British Airways permit passengers to bring their own food on board.
Jet2's rules are somewhat ambiguous but seem to suggest cold food is acceptable. There are separate rules for baby food; up to a litre in solid form can be brought on flights. Any liquids must be in individual, clear bottles with a maximum capacity of 100ml, reports the Liverpool Echo. Passengers are allowed to bring food into the cabin. However, there's a 100ml limit for liquid food items like soup or custard.
It's important to note that different countries have varying regulations about importing food and drink, so it's crucial to check the rules for your destination. You can also bring hot drinks on board if you've purchased them at the airport and they are covered with a lid.
