Airline food can be an added journey cost when heading abroad - and it isn't always the tastiest either.
One way to avoid forking out is to bring your own food, either from home or bought in the departure lounge - with retailers such as WHSmith, Boots and full-blown restaurants, there are usually plenty of options to choose from while waiting to board.
Those who fancy being even thriftier can bring their own food through security and onto the flight but travellers need to make sure it isn't a liquid, like soup.
