Aeroplane food is notoriously bad but can cost you a lot of money on board if you're on a long flight and need to eat. One way to avoid having to spend hard-earned cash on a substandard meal is to bring your own food, but what airlines allow this and what are the rules?
You can bring your own food through security and onto the flight as long as it is not liquid, like soup. While sandwiches and salads are usually fine, you must eat them before landing as some places, such as the EU, do not allow passengers to take fresh meat or dairy from the UK into the country.
However, easyJet, Ryanair, TUI and British Airways all do allow passengers to bring their own food onboard. Jet2's rules are a little less clear but suggest cold food is fine, the MEN reports. There are different rules for baby food, up to a litre of which can be brought on flights.
