I put them in a seapate ziplock and wS clear that I had them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-flight-food-questions#post-2647795 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 21:27:32 +0000 PawPrints 2647795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caterw: Yeah they really are the perfect snack for on the plane. Cheese sticks are good too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-flight-food-questions#post-2647718 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 20:06:47 +0000 caterw 2647718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: That is RIDICULOUS, but good to know! DD likes pouches for snacks and I definitely planned on stocking up for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-flight-food-questions#post-2647550 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 15:57:15 +0000 misolee 2647550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pawprints</p> <p>me too. Security line was forever long and the TSA did give me a hard time. They were factory sealed pouches. I had three. I was told I can either wait for the machine that tests these things (15-20 min) or I can throw it out. Unfortunately, I threw it out bc flight was leaving soon :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-flight-food-questions#post-2647528 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 15:22:57 +0000 PawPrints 2647528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just FYI I have had TSA give me crap about 4-oz pouches. They ultimately let me through but said I was supposed to find 3-oz ones. They are much harder to find but they do exist; I found some at Target eventually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-flight-food-questions#post-2647462 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 14:23:21 +0000 looch 2647462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer to bring factory sealed items, they won't open it or test it, they'll hand scan it. I always bring a sealed bottle of water for my son, I haven't had an issue in 6 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-flight-food-questions#post-2647373 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 12:50:06 +0000 Pollywog 2647373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bringing baby food is fine. I just put everything in a lunch box and declare it at security. I brought homemade purees and pouches with no problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-flight-food-questions#post-2647367 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 12:44:56 +0000 Tanjowen 2647367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes to everything @mediagirl: said about food. We take pouches, applesauce, cereal, etc. Just be prepared to be pulled from security for a hand swab and the containers tested. </p> <p>As for entertainment, find those puffy stickers and let your LO "decorate" the food tray or window (they come off easily). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-flight-food-questions#post-2647349 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 12:19:30 +0000 mediagirl 2647349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are exceptions for baby food. You can pretty much take anything you want on the plane and they will let you through security. They may stick a little stick into it to "test" it but otherwise, you'll be good. We took pouches and were fine. We still take them and she's 4.5. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-flight-food-questions#post-2647343 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 12:14:35 +0000 Willow 2647343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are flying for the first time with our one-year-old daughter next week. </p> <p>1. Is it fine to bring food in ziplock bags in carry on baggage? She typically has baby cereal mixed with applesauce for breakfast, but I don't want to bring the full bag of cereal if I could just portion it out into ziplock bags... </p> <p>2. I can't find any food pouches under 100 mL, but it sounds like they make an acception for baby food. Anyone have experience with this?</p> <p>It's just a quick 2-day trip so we don't have any checked baggage. </p> <p>Also, welcome to any suggestions for toys/activities for the plane :) </p>
