You can still make your own food and bring it onboard.
Some people choose to eat simple snacks, while others pack noodle snacks that they ask for water from the flight attendants.
One tourist, however, has shown that she can take a huge freshly prepared sandwich on her flight without having to buy it or bring it from home.
Emily, or emilyeatsandexplores, filmed her going through airport security. There, she received an extra see-through bag for liquids.
Then she shared it in a video. TiktokShe demonstrated how she used the bag to keep hot food fresh from the departures lounge so she could eat on her flight instead of going hungry mid-air.
Although the video has been viewed more than half a billion times, other users still aren’t convinced that it’s worth watching. “hack”.
Some thought she looked desperate. Others suggested that she would still be spending money after buying food at the airport.
One person said, “Didn’t you know that you can purchase boxes of these same bags and take them with you?”
“You can even put food in them at home and bring it with you!”
Another author wrote: “The real hack is, don’t buy food at the airport.”
The third was added: “Seriously. Who is that desperate?”
Emily isn’t the only Tiktoker who has filmed herself taking cheap food on a plane.
User ‘letsbefranc’revealed how she never goes hungry and never hands over any money.
She demonstrated how she brought her own snacks, sweets, and sandwiches to the airport in a video.
She said: “We got through airport security in ten minutes at Gatwick.
“All our food passed through so I will show what food I brought through security. It’s just another good hack for when you’re trying to travel cheaply.
“Airport food can be quite expensive and also the queues here are crazy, so we’re glad that we brought our own food.”
So that she wouldn’t have to spend extra money after security, she disclosed what she had with her.
She continued: “The first thing we brought through was an empty bottle of water and filled it up at the water fountain here because there are water fountains available at every airport. You’re allowed to bring an empty bottle through.
“I brought a ham, cheese roll and packet of crisps for each of us. We also each had a banana.”
“I’ve got sweets in my bag for the plane as well.”
This passenger was also filmed enjoying a strange snack on a recent flight.
This man claimed that he had eaten a cockroach, which was denied by the airline.
