Travel is back on the agenda for many this year, but with the nation in the midst of a cost of living crisis, holiday makers and travellers are still keenly aware of how far their budget will stretch. If you're thinking of packing a picnic for the journey to save paying airport and airline prices, then make sure you know the rules first.
Airlines all have their own rules and so while you may be able to eat the food items you've bought with you or the sandwich you splashed out on in the departure area pre-boarding, you may not always be able to enjoy that same snack once you've boarded the plane.
With retailers like Boots, Pret and M&S Food all present in UK airports, Manchester Evening News reports that passengers can grab a cheaper sandwich or meal deal and save it for their journey. Plus, you can bring your own food through security and onto the flight, as long as it is not a liquid, like soup.
