AIRPLANE SNACKS FAQ
When you’re considering which kind of snacks are best for air travel, be sure to select foods that are tasty as well as easy to eat while you’re confined to a narrow airplane seat. Stay away from potentially messy or sticky snacks. Another no no? Foods that may have an odor, such as tuna fish or hardboiled eggs (you don’t want to make your seatmates into your enemies).
