I understand the rules that liquids are not allowed. But can I bring dried fruits and beef jerky into the airport, passed security and onto the plane? I am flying domestic from Sky Harbor, AZ Any help is appreciated!

  1. As far as I know you can. I always bring crisps and sandwiches on here in england. You may as well take it. If for some reason you can't which I highly doubt, they will just get you to leave it at security.


  2. Last time i went we brought mad food.. my grandma works at the airport and i think you can still bring food. I mean why wouldnt you be able to you no? My trip was after sept 11th and it was ok then so i think its ok still. You shouldnt have no problems. But i no you cant bring liquids on the plane.

  3. "All food must go through the X-ray machine. Do NOT bring food to the security checkpoint unwrapped,...

    Food must be wrapped or in a container. Unpeeled natural foods like fruit are okay, but half-eaten fruits must be wrapped."

    So, make sure they are still wrapped or in a container, and inside your carry-on luggage. As for liquids, some beverages can be brought onto a plane, such as those required for special needs individuals (e.g. baby formula, sugar-free beverage for a diabetic senior citizen, et cetera)

  4. ive taken on sandwiches, salads and even spaghetti and meatballs without a problem. just get a drink on board

  5. Yes

  6. Yes, i bring food from the outside and put it in my backpack at security and eat it while I am waiting for a plane all the time.

  7. All food must be wrapped, unless it has peels (like a banana).

    Dont bring food that have a strong odor, as the people areound you might be giving you strange looks .

    Also, beware that some foods can be used as weapons, and might cause problem. An apple can be used as a weapon (baseball), and Curry can be thrown in peoples eyes.

    Enjoy your flight!

  8. i've taken food many times. all this stuff is usually in my backpack and i've never been questioned.

  9. Yes-- 100% allowed.

  10. yes :) but, you're right about the liquids. You can buy them once your past security and take them on the plane. Have a good flight :)
