Can You Bring Cup-Noodles To Your Check-In Luggage?
There are no animal byproducts in the recipe of Ramen or Noodles. Additionally, meals are acceptable as long as there are no liquids present. Furthermore, the question is warranted because cup noodles are frequently soupy. However, when you pack cup noodles in your luggage, they become solid. We understand that you might assume that making instant cup noodles requires hot water. No worries, though; you can request warm water from the air hostess with grace. Hence, you can carry cup noodles in your check-in luggage.
Regular travelers are aware that fast food and airline fare quickly become stale. I’ve been taking flights for travel for business and pleasure almost every month for the past two years, and I quickly became tired of burgers, French fries, and breakfast sandwiches.
As for food, you can pretty much bring whatever you like as long as you adhere to TSA restrictions on liquids and gels. For holiday travelers, TSA has listed suggestions for what to do with standard edible holiday fare such as cranberry sauce, gravy, and maple syrup under “Traveling with Food or Gifts.” Take note! Cakes and pies are okay, but they are subject to additional security screening. Beyond that, guidelines for Food & Beverage are pretty simple: food must go through the x-ray machine at security, and must be wrapped or in a container. Unpeeled fruit is okay, but half-eaten fruit must be wrapped.
I finally made the decision to begin brown-bagging it on the plane, but not before I had to ascertain what the TSA would and would not permit. The TSA forbids knives, including meat cleavers, in case you were hoping to indulge in charcuterie while in flight, but they accept plastic or butter knives with round blades. Plastic utensils: A-okay.
Here are my top five meals to pack for an airplane, without further ado. I have tested each of these, and had great success.
For travelers, a straightforward, if not totally healthful, meal option is a cup of Ramen soup. Lunch or dinner is ready when the drink cart arrives—just ask for hot water. If you are traveling on a short flight without in-flight meals, remember to pack a fork or spoon because the flight attendants might not have any available. I prefer to pack my own camping cutlery, but you can also purchase plastic cutlery from an airport fast-food restaurant.
