It's that time of year again- February Break for families of school kids. Instead of getting stuck in the air with salty peanuts, pretzels, processed cheese and diet coke- plan ahead for you and your kids! Just remember, NO LIQUIDS GOING THRU SECURITY (What a PIA!). So...
If you are leaving in the early morning- bring a pack of instant oatmeal, a box of raisins or dried fruit and some almonds, a plastic container and spoon. When you are inflight, the really lovely flt attendants can give you some hot water to make your mix!
If you are leaving in the afternoon or evening, make a sandwich or wrap or salad and bring it along.
Always pack some trail mix, some granola bars, an apple, and buy WATER once thru the security line. If you want to bring that "emergency" treat, go ahead and grab a few pieces of chocolate (that your honey gave you last week for V-day), and break into it if you need to!
If you are a coffee or tea drinker, you can bring along a few tea bags or Starbucks instant coffee. The flt attendants are "more than happy" to provide you hot water, milk and sugar.
By planning ahead like this, you will not feel bloated and icky when you get to your destination! Enjoy!
