snacks while flying?

[Brandi]

I am looking for new snack idea's while flying. I always seem to come up with the same one's! Anyone have something different to contribute?
I bring
salame
cheese
crackers
fruit
chocolate
granola bars

fruit, chocolate and gum.
If I know they're going to starve me, I make sandwiches.

Grapes.

I haven't figured out how to get enough water on a long flight, now that you can't bring your own I always get two of the little sip bottles whenever the flight attendants bring them around, but they never come around enough. Maybe I should start asking for four

I take an empty water bottle (like a bike bottle) in my cabin luggage. I either fill it after crossing the security point or on the plane itself, asking a flight attendant to do it (sometimes they send me to the tap to fill it myself).

I've tried and tested this system a few times in the past weeks (in Canada) and it worked without problems.

I like Peanut M&Ms. As a kid my parents always got them for me on plane flights. But I ask the person beside me if the peanut smell bothers them before opening the bag.

I've always like trail mix, but the saltiness has been too much since the water issue. Next time, I will try the empty bottle thing and see if they will fill it up for me. I'm thinking maybe I will do more baggies of moisture rich fruits like oranges and grapefruit...more hydration...

Peanut butter sandwich
trail mix
cut up carrots or other veges

LOL, I thought you were talking about snacking while riding your bike.

[VeloVT]

Clif bars/luna bars and sliced apples.

The water bottle idea is a good one, I will have to try that next time. Traveling is becoming such a hassle.

Re: water, I just buy a bottle or two from the shop closest to the gate (well past security).

As far as snacks, we take TJ's sesame sticks, raw nuts, or Snyder's Pumpernickel sticks. Mmmmmmmmm...salty.

Now I'm hungry.

Now I'm hungry.

Me too. I've been ratting through my desk drawer trying to find something...I found a bandaid and some old chapstick.

If you were Macgyver you could make a meal out of that bandaid and chapstick!

I was thinking about taking a noodle bowl but I am not sure if they would have really hot water for it? But then this is over seas, well 5 hours to Hawaii. You would think they would have some hot water?
Trader joe's has some good noodle bowls.
So I got 2 noodle bowls
1 pb and j sandwich(to split w/hubby)
some yummy pepper potatoe chips
carrots
orange slices
dark choclate truffle bar
+ I always bring tea bags
I would think this would keep my husband happy
I thought maybe a salame sandwich but that with the noodle bowl and all the salt could be a .bad combo

Wow, it's beyond me why you all don't want

A. The three pretzels that come in the snack package, or

B. To pay $8 US for a dried out turkey sandwich on stale bread.

Where is your sense of adventure???

I take fruit (apples, banana, grapes), or a peanut butter sandwich. I rarely fly more than 3 - 4 hours at a stretch though. Usually DC to Denver or occasionally to SF. Nothing more...
