I used to work for tsa and this is great information. Best way to understand what food you can take is that if it doesn't hold its shape without the container then you probably need to follow the 3-1-1 rule. For example, a sandwich doesnt need to follow the 3-1-1 rule but soup, yogurt, and guac has to stay under 3.4oz. **Glad you mentioned parents bringing a reasonable amount of food. You can usually only bring the amount that you need while you travel not the amount you'll be using during your entire stay.
Thanks so much for another awesome video Heidi :) Our family of four will be taking a 14-hour flight to India in two months' time. I'm going through all of your packing videos for inspiration. Cheers!
I'm a bit late to the game but I just found your videos. I really enjoyed this one on snacks. I have two Transatlantic cruises coming up wth flying into and out of Europe and I'm starting to plan....it's part of the fun. I have a list of snacks already but I really want to try some of your healthier option and how to pack them. Thanks!
@@KenshoQuest Yes! Traveling from Ohio to Arizona at the end of March for my cousin’s birthday. It’s a three hour flight but I have a 2 hour layover in Denver, and airport snacks are too pricey, so I’m definitely packing some healthy snacks.
Contacts and contacts solution are considered medical items and don't have to be in your 311 bag but can go separately or with medications (if you have them)
I have flown at least 6 times with my now 2.5 year old and each time I have been able to bring whole milk in a bottle or closed carton for him. I just point it out and hand it to the TSA officer and they do their screening. And then done. There was only one time I brought the whole milk in a carton (one of those Horizons Organic 8oz Milk) and I told them my then 1.5 year old needed it. They said in order to let it pass that I needed to be patted down. I agreed and they let me take it. I wasn’t about to pay $3 for a bottle of whole milk at one of those airport stores 😅.
I understand TSA is just trying to keep us safe but they can be ridiculous at times. I also wouldn't have a problem wth being patted down but I guess I just don't see the correlation of an 8oz container of milk wth the off chance I have something nefarious under my clothes. lol
Thanks so much for this video! I learned a lot! What about frozen dinners? Can we bring those? I’m trying not to spend much while we are out of state. So I’ll need ready made dinners.
I suppose that frozen meals could be taken through security as long as they are frozen solid, not slushy. I would worry about them melting if there was a delay. I prefer dry foods that I can add hot water to, or shopping at a grocery store upon arrival. Safe travels! 🌺✈️ Heidi
Protein bars should be fine to bring on without restriction, as long as they fit in your carryon or personal item. Protein powder falls under the rules for powders. And liquids are restricted. But solid foods aren’t limited, unless the airline has a rule about not bringing onboard outside food.
We are going to the phuket sandbox as well. Maybe after Thanksgiving, not sure if we want to rush (world may shutdown again), as we are moving to Thailand or take it slow. Your videos are helpful.
@@KenshoQuest No never been to Thailand. Were moving to Bangkok, just using the Sandox. We moved to Dominican Republic last November, but we didn't like it. Hopefully we like Bangkok!
Hi Dear! this is the best video that I've watched. It's all in here what I was searching for. it's very informative and helpful. it's a big help for me as I am going to travel to US with my toddler for the first time and my husband. I'm curious about the amount of baby formula since we might have 17hrs lay over maybe before we fly to US. Thank you for this video. I know what to pack and prepare. Thank you! God bless!
This video is great! The only problem is I can’t find anybody doing a video for United Kingdom 🇬🇧 what is allowed? , so my question is how do I find out what shall I take with me on board ??? I always travel with my little one with hand bag only .
Some airlines have the option for gluten-free meals. The one we were flying this time didn't give that option. And some of the gluten-free meals we've been provided in the past were not very good (ie sandwich on moldy gluten-free bread). 🌺Heidi
Powders in carry-on bags are fine, but if they are over 12 ounces, they may require additional screening. So small packets would be fine. Liquids such as face wash and moisturizer can be up to 3.4 oz (100ml). I prefer to pack solid and powder toiletries, which are less likely to leak than liquids. Here's my video on travel toiletries: th-cam.com/video/FPAV_EB-UIc/w-d-xo.html
We fly with airlines that offer snacks and often a small meal. Our family avoids gluten, and many of the meals and snacks contain gluten. We find that snacks also help entertain our kids on flights! 🌺 Heidi
So what about 3 protein bars and some emergen c cold packets does that go in my 3-1 liquid bag do i heed a separate bag or can i just put them in my carry on bag?
Hi excellent question! While both have an aroma that might be unpleasant to some they are very different in appearance, taste, texture and cost! Our kids love jackfruit while us parents love durian :) 😋
Hi, it's not recommended. While you maybe allowed to take it on your flight you need to eat any fruit or vegetables before you pass through the gates otherwise you will be fined. There is usually an agriculture inspection that will warn you first to discard anything you haven't eaten. but again ,if you forget something you will be fined.
"Formula, breast milk and juice for infants or toddlers are permitted in reasonable quantities through the security checkpoint." I would refer directly to the TSA website to see if the item you would like to bring is exempt: www.tsa.gov/travel/special-procedures/traveling-children

Great video . I have found polish remover pads wrapped . They look like liquid hand sanitizers. I have found them in Walmart and a few pharmacies.

Hi Heidi, how about protein bars? Can you take around 12 if they fit in a ziplock bag? Thanks. Really enjoyed your tips and video. ❤

Watching from Philippines ❤️ Stay safe! 💐
This video is great!

I always travel with my little one with hand bag only .
Can you request a specialty gluten free meal or snacks like you can when you need a kosher or vegetarian meal?
Some airlines have the option for gluten-free meals. The one we were flying this time didn't give that option. And some of the gluten-free meals we've been provided in the past were not very good (ie sandwich on moldy gluten-free bread). 🌺Heidi
For protein powder packets or container what is the rule for that ? Face wash ? Face moisturizer ?
Powders in carry-on bags are fine, but if they are over 12 ounces, they may require additional screening. So small packets would be fine. Liquids such as face wash and moisturizer can be up to 3.4 oz (100ml). I prefer to pack solid and powder toiletries, which are less likely to leak than liquids. Here's my video on travel toiletries: th-cam.com/video/FPAV_EB-UIc/w-d-xo.html
Just curious , are you flying with airlines that don't include food?
We fly with airlines that offer snacks and often a small meal. Our family avoids gluten, and many of the meals and snacks contain gluten. We find that snacks also help entertain our kids on flights! 🌺 Heidi
So what about 3 protein bars and some emergen c cold packets does that go in my 3-1 liquid bag do i heed a separate bag or can i just put them in my carry on bag?
If they are solid and powder they can just go in your carryon bag. No need to put in your liquids bag.
What if all I'm bringing is a large purse. Would this still apply?
Yes. The TSA rules about liquids and food apply to any types of bags you bring onto an airplane.
Be sure to check with each airline, as some only allow 3pz (90ml). 🙄
Wow! Thanks for the heads up! Do you remember which airline?
Is there a limit on how much food we can bring?
Nope. As long as you adhere to carry on bag size and liquids restrictions, you can bring as much food as you want.
Is durian similar to jackfruit?
Hi excellent question! While both have an aroma that might be unpleasant to some they are very different in appearance, taste, texture and cost! Our kids love jackfruit while us parents love durian :) 😋
Can you pack fruit from the mainland to Hawaii?
Hi, it's not recommended. While you maybe allowed to take it on your flight you need to eat any fruit or vegetables before you pass through the gates otherwise you will be fined. There is usually an agriculture inspection that will warn you first to discard anything you haven't eaten. but again ,if you forget something you will be fined.
Hi, do you know if the baby food and drink exemptions are for infants only or would it be allowed for a 2 year old also?
"Formula, breast milk and juice for infants or toddlers are permitted in reasonable quantities through the security checkpoint." I would refer directly to the TSA website to see if the item you would like to bring is exempt: www.tsa.gov/travel/special-procedures/traveling-children
I've literally never had TSA ask me to put liqiuds into a ziploc
Maybe they aren’t as strict at enforcing liquids rules these days. There is usually at least a sign explaining the 3-1-1 rule near security.
🥰🤩
🙋🏻♀️👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼
🇲🇾🤗👍
How about candy bars? Like a sneaker bar? I watched a few of these.. tired of all the health exclusive advice.
It’s a solid (as long as it’s not melted), and fine to bring on an airplane. There’s only restrictions for liquids and powders.
