Where are you flying to! In NZ Im guessing as you cannot take food on international flights (unless bought once going through duty free) I guess I would just eat beforehand, then when I got off the plane.

You can take food on an overseas flights, BUT you must declare anything you haven't eaten. Normally food would have to be cold as they wont allow hot food, I think because it smells. Where are you flying to Thq !

You can take anything really, Pringles on the plane are far more expensive than in the supermarket, so take them. Filled rolls or cheese and bacon knots. Take things that stay together and won't fall apart. Chocolate bars, Danish pastries etc any finger food really. Drinks will be out, as you are limited to the size of liquids.
fill a bottle with water after customs.( in the loo). No eating in three hours is not the end.

When we fly to Aus and back to NZ we purchace a subway sandwich and a cookie before we go through imigration (you cant take a drink with you). When they serve the meal we get our subs out and enjoy them.When they bring the cuppa around later I enjoy the cookie easy and yum.

If you're diabetic, you could take on some nuts, hard-boiled eggs, a baked chicken drumstick, some cheese. I always take my own food on as the airline stuff is crap.

I have taken roasted chicken pieces (drums are easiest to eat - wrap a tissue around the bone and gnaw) and a bag full of cherry tomatoes and several boiled eggs on a long haul flight. Whatever you do not eat deposit into the bins at the airport upon arrival. The other option would be a nice Greek yoghurt and a spoon.

Boiled eggs do not have the sweetest aroma!I once did the Hong Kong - NZ leg sat next to a guy with sweaty feet - not good!
You leave the hb eggs in their shells. Just peel and eat = no smell. If you're doing longer flights, you could look into getting a small chiller bag to take your food onboard in.

Have never come across that before, perhaps we have smellier eggs here!We have been on picnics where people have peeled eggs and you can smell them - and that is outside.

Probably wouldn't smell any worse than the airline food! Or maybe just pray for an empty seat next to you. Actually, my hb eggs never smell. Might be because I don't overcook them!

LOL - perhaps that is the reason.I like mine like rocks so they are probably overcooked.

A fresh egg doesn't smell much at all. However if you have an old egg (supermarket) and then boil it for hours then you will get that green ring around the yolk which ammonium sulfide. It is that which is used in stink bombs the world over - which stinks like rotten eggs. So use fresh eggs and boil them for 3 to 5 minutes and there is just the smell of a cooked egg when you peel them. No need to be "brave".
