Do they let food through the airport?

It really is. Passing food at the airport is not totally off-limits. But there is a list of restrictions that it's best to be aware of when bringing in any type of food.

Although food inside the airport doubles in price, there's nothing to be said for forcing you to eat your products with food restrictions. In-flight, such limitations are due to international security guidelines.

What can't I take in my hand luggage

What can't I take in my hand luggage?

The restrictions are easy to memorise because they target essential products. No liquids larger than 100ml are allowed. Foods that may cause discomfort, strong smells or bad smells inside the plane, food that may decompose during the trip, are limited when being transported.

In the case of seeds, fruits, vegetables and even meats, they must first be checked and also verified if the destination country accepts their transport. If not, then they are confiscated at the airport.

It is important to know that each airline has its own security measures and it really depends on them what you can and cannot carry. We recommend that you check this information before you travel so that you don't get any unexpected surprises.

What food can be transported by air

What food can be transported by air?

As long as you are not breaking any laws, you can carry a wide variety of foodstuffs on board the aircraft. If you are a private citizen travelling within the EU, you have a carriage limit of 10 litres of alcoholic beverages, 90 litres of wine and 110 litres of beer, for example.

Anything you have bought at the airport after the security check can be taken on the plane without any problem, as long as it complies with all the laws.

Canned food may present a problem when being transported as it contains a certain amount of liquid, which depending on the quantity is prohibited. In these cases it would be wisest to buy it after the security line at the airport or carry it in checked baggage.

If you are not able to carry it in your checked baggage, it is best to buy it after the security line at the airport.
