What is available to purchase (food) through security at an airport to put in your carry on bag?

Question

I am going on a flight by myself as a minor and I want to know what I can bring in my bag that I will take on the plane (food). I asked a question before and I got back an answer that I can not bring in food from home. I have to purchase it there. I want to know what kind of food is there for me to purchase.

Answer 1

Whoever said you can't bring food was wrong.

Answer 2

You are allowed to bring food from home as long as its not liquid. The food for purchase depends on the airport and the terminal. I have been to a few airports where there wasn't much but a snack stand to buy items, or the nearest place was at least a 20 min walk away. Also food at the airport is very expensive, so it is more convenient and affordable to bring your own food. Another thing I do is carry an empty water bottle and crystal light packets, and fill it up at a water fountain past security. Just another way to save money.

Answer 3

You can bring foods from home but no liquids over 3oz. Go to www.tsa.gov and you will find a seemingly endless list of what you can and can't take through security.

Answer 4

After you go through security you can buy bottles of pop, juice and water. As far as food, I have seen sandwiches, chips, crackers, muffins, candy.

I have however brought crackers and pop tarts from home and had no problems.
