Complementary peanuts or cookies are great for about two seconds, but if you're in the air for the long haul, you know you need more than a snack. Some airlines provide you with meals – but, how appetising can those really be? They've been covered in plastic wrap and then microwaved to room temperature, after all.
You'd bring your own food, but the TSA has such a strict policy on what can get past security. You'd buy food in the airport, but the prices can be so expensive. What are you to do?
Well first of all, don't get hangry – we've got a list of delicious foods that are TSA friendly. Let's dig in.
Fruit and solid cheese
We've lumped these together because they are the making of an in-flight cheese board. Grab your favourite hard cheeses, some grapes, apples and oranges and you have a delicious treat. You might want to eat this one early in the flight, just in case the cheese starts to stink!
Pies
Yes, pies are TSA approved! Pies are the perfect meal that will keep without needing to be refrigerated and provide sustenance to keep you going the whole flight. Just be sure to make your pie travel sized otherwise the whole flight might be asking for a slice.
Cheeseburgers
You have to either wrap or have this in a container, but what wouldn't you do for a cheeseburger mid-flight, right? You can't bring sauces or creamy spreads that you might use to give some flavour to your burger, however, you don't need it! All the condiments you need can be found past TSA in the food court. Pro tip: keep your burgers and your buns separate so they don't get soggy before you can dig in.
Cake
Now that you've made it through your snack and main courses, you can enjoy some dessert! What is your favourite type of cake? You can have it! This is another one you have to be careful with – if someone sees you have a whole cake, you might end up sharing, so be sure to just bring a slice (or two).
Don't forget! Pacific Airport Parking is here to make your trip as easy as those pies you're allowed to bring on board! Drop your car off with us and shuttle to your gate – that's all you have to do! We'll make sure it's parked in a safe place while you're away. Just check our rates today.
