Help w/ Traveling on Phase 1
8
Thu, 02-28-2008 - 1:20pm

Hello All:


I'm heading to California next week (Thursday night 3/6).  My flight departs at 7:15 which is totally going to conflict with my dinner time.  I have to leave my office by 4:00 p.m.  I'm going to make myself a nice hearty tuna salad loaded with veggies to eat before I leave but I wanted to know what kind of Phase 1 airplane friendly snacks I can take with me.  I was thinking of taking:  a couple of light babybel cheese, a baggie full of nuts (I may go over my allotment to help with the four hour flight), perhaps some celery sticks and sugar snap peas?  Anything else you can think of?  Am I even allowed to take this stuff on the plane with me?


Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!


PS:  Phase 1 ends for me the Monday I return March 10th.

You can probably take pre-packaged nuts, but I don't think they'll let the celery through security check points.

I would suggest maybe considering moving onto Phase 2 by the time you leave (maybe even start it the day you leave).

Here's the FAA's frequently asked questions about what you can bring on flights.

I've brought apples and bananas on flights last summer and they weren't a problem (we even had a random check where we were pulled aside and all our stuff was emptied - fun with two kids with you! My 6 yr old dd started bawling when they wanted to pat her down) Anyhow, they didn't say anything about the fruit - so I would think veggies would be fine.

I also agree about brining some phase 2 snacks just in case. Having a SBD bar or some whole grain crackers, or fruit would be a WAY better than ending up having to buy candy or junk food in an emergency.

Hi -- I've posted this before (people are probably sick of hearing it!) but my favorite thing to take on a plane is to take a lf cheese stick, roll it in a slice of turkey or ham, and freeze them overnight before leaving.


With the time needed to travel to the airport, wait for your flight and by the time lunch gets there, they are thawed and ready to go!
