Can you bring your own food on an airplane?

Question

I haven't been on an airplane in a loooong time, so i'm kind of clueless, but i wanted to bring candy on the airplane. Am i allowed to do that? Or does it depend on the airlines your flying with? I know you can't bring liquids, but i just wanted to bring candy :] thanks!

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

haha once i went to china and brought like a whole suitcase of candy as a carry on! haha, my mom was angry at me because i chose candy over my toothbrush and extra clothes bag.

Answer 3

Yes, aslong as it is not opened

Answer 4

yes, you can

Answer 5

I do a lot of business travel, and I've never had any problems bringing food through airport security (as long as there aren't any liquids) for a domestic flight. International flights are a different matter entirely - customs will confiscate many different types of food items depending on the country you're traveling to/from, especially produce and meat.

Answer 6

yea sure why not.

Answer 7

I'm not sure why there are a couple of answers here about not having the candy open - what kind of candy are you guys thinking of?  It's fine, just pop it in your carry on and put it through the xray like everything else, it doesn't matter if the bag is open or not.  I travel every week, no one has bothered with any candy I've carried through yet.

Answer 8

Yes,you can ring your own food on an airplane.They provide mornning muffins and packaged peanuts for free.

Answer 9

candy should not be problem :]

unless it looks particularly weird :S

Answer 10

Yes you can, just make sure it isnt opened already when going through security.

Answer 11

I have.  Liquids are what they are concerned about
