With the world finally getting on top of the Covid-19 pandemic, this summer should see millions of Brits jetting off on sun holidays or for city breaks around Europe.
There will be a number of options available to them to get there, with top airlines like Ryanair, Jet2, Tui, British Airways and easyjet all running full schedules for the summer months. But there are a couple of things that fliers do that try to cut costs for their flights.
One of those is to either bring their own food, or stock up on snacks once they've got through security, as airport food and the grub you can get on board the plane can often be quite expensive. This sometimes leaves you feeling peckish mid-flight.
However, most airlines are lenient when it comes to food on their planes.
There are a couple of basic rules, as the Manchester Evening News explain.
You can take food through airport security, but not liquids - any liquid must be in a clear bottle and less than 100ml.
You cannot drink your own alcohol onto a flight. Even if you've bought in duty free , you won't be allowed crack it open in the air.
Here's what each airline says about bringing food on board.
easyJet
You can bring food on board, as long as any liquids (brought from home) such as soup or custard are in clear containers of no more than 100ml. Non-alcoholic drinks, including hot drinks, can be brought on board if they were bought in the departure lounge.
Ryanair
'Feel free' to bring your own food and soft drinks on board, Ryanair says. However, unlike EasyJet, hot drinks are not welcome.
Ryanair said: "In the interest of safety we cannot allow passengers to board the plane with hot drinks or consume their own alcohol during the flight."
TUI
Passengers travelling with TUI can bring their own food on board. It says it advises passengers to bring "low-risk food such as pre-made sandwiches and snacks that can be eaten cold".
Jet2
Hot drinks and hot food are not allowed to be brought onto Jet2's planes. But the rules do not say anything about not bringing cold food, such as sandwiches, from home or the departure lounge.
However, Jet2's rules state that customers are not allowed to bring food on board if it is "prohibited from being carried by the applicable laws, regulations or orders of any country to be flown from, to or over". Technically, they could argue that meat and dairy from the UK can not be brought on board flights to the EU and confiscate your sandwich.
Jet2 also says passengers can not bring "items which in our reasonable opinion are unsuitable for carriage by reason of their weight, size or character or which are fragile or perishable or which may affect the safety, health or comfort of other passengers or crew, this may include hot or strong smelling foods and drinks".
British Airways
Passengers can take solid foods like "sandwiches, biscuits, fruit, nuts, etc", onto the plane says British Airways. Liquids like drinks, soups, sauces, jams and jellys must be in clear containers with a capacity of no more than 100ml.
British Airways adds: "You can buy duty-free liquids, gels or cream products of more than 100ml from airport shops or on board, provided that they have been sealed at the point of purchase in a Security Tamper Evident Bag with the receipt inside."
