Airline food is not always the best and can cost you a lot of money on board. One way to avoid forking out is to bring your own food, either from home or bought in the departure lounge.
With retailers like Boots, Pret and M&S Food all present in UK airports, passengers can grab a cheaper sandwich or meal deal and save it for their journey.
Those who fancy being even thriftier can bring their own food through security and onto the flight, as long as it is not a liquid, like soup. Sandwiches and salads are usually fine - but make sure you eat it or dispose of it before landing as there are rules on the types of food you can take into other countries. The EU, for example, does not allow passengers to take fresh meat or dairy from the UK into its countries.
