If you're jetting off this Easter, keeping spending low is on the agenda for heaps of holiday-goers.
With holiday costs hitting the roof, saving money becomes crucial for countless families. One savvy way to save cash is by swerving the buy of grub at the airport or in-flight munch.
Sure, all airlines have trolley services loaded with warm dishes and nibbles, but why not save money by packing your own bites until landing? Mind you, each airline has its snack policy on board, so double-check with your flight fellows first, reports Galway Beo.
Best bin or scoff your snacks before touchdown to dodge any local no-nos about bringing in foodstuff, especially if you’re travelling to the EU where stuff like milk, meat, or other animal goodies from outside the bloc are a big no-no. Some snacks might get the boot as they fall under the liquid-like category, with that 100ml rule still a thing – except for baby food and milk, of course.
The government said: "Food items and powders in your hand luggage can obstruct images on X-ray machines. Your bags may need to be checked again manually by security. You can put these items in your hold luggage to minimise delays."
Ryanair will allow you to bring whatever food or soft drinks you fancy hauling into the cabin.
However, the size and weight of your hand luggage must adhere to their specified limits.
The budget airline does have certain restrictions in place. For instance, due to safety concerns, passengers are not permitted to bring hot beverages on board.
Moreover, passengers are also not allowed to board with alcoholic drinks. As per their policy: "In the interest of safety we cannot allow passengers to board the plane with hot drinks or consume their own alcohol during the flight."
