¿CóHow can I travel with food on the plane?ón?

Whoseén they have not asked for any food típick to take somethingún family abroad, if this is your case, I leave you some tips about cóHow can you do it without having problems with the authorities to travel calmly and safely:

  • Customs always declares that it isás carrying somethingún prepared food, they will tell youán sí you can enter it. Do not expose yourself to fines and or go to the cárcel (to dependá of the internal regulations of each countryís, not knowing the laws of the countryís where you arrive is not a sufficient excuse to avoid fines or imprisonment).
  • you can bring empanadas, fruits or whatever you want, as long as it isén properly sealed (preferably in a vacuumíO), have a health record and customs authorities sometimes requestán purchase invoice.
  • If it's something frozen, do not forget to pack it with materials that prevent your suitcase and that of others from getting wet.
  • If it is prepared food, empácala lo más herméethically possible and in plastic containersástickers to avoid odors, and secureúrate that does not break down during the trip.
  • avoid carrying a pig roasted with its head, This will not only make youá have a bad time when they ask you to open your suitcase, but alsoén scareá to customs personnel (including the puppy) and finishás in the news.

Finally, I always recommend consulting with the airline.ínea or with the país to which you are traveling about additional restrictions that may exist for certain itemsíglasses, así to travelás más calm.

    1. If the air fryer is the size of a personal item, I don't see a problem, but it depends a lot on each airline. In the hold luggage there is no problem, but keep in mind that it could be mistreated during the journey.

            1. Good question, I recommend that you check with your airline in case they have any size restrictions., In any case, if they say yes, you will have to pay for extra luggage and possibly overweight..

  32. Hello... I have a domestic flight in Colombia, could i take a used rechargeable fan with me? It's about the size of an air fryer ... I recommend carrying it by hand or in checked luggage?

    1. It depends on what baggage allowance you have., Does the airline allow you to bring a carry-on bag?, that item would be your carry-on bag, I do not know if you understand me. The hold baggage option is good, but keep in mind that you could suffer damages from the treatment of them.

    1. It's a roulette, you could be lucky and have no control, quite the opposite and you have problems for entering undeclared products and without sanitary registration. I do not recommend doing it.

  38. Hello Nico, greetings, a cousin living in the US, He asked me to bring sausages, which is a type of sausage derived from pork., pork rinds and humitas to Fort Lauderdale, everything is handmade obviously does not have a sanitary registry, no invoice, I will have problems if they discover me with that, It's my first trip and I'm going alone, the last thing I want is to have problems when I arrive, be fined or detained

    1. Yes, but you must notify the airline when checking that baggage. Some airlines at the time of check-in will tell you if you want to bring sports equipment and they usually charge for doing so, So I recommend you take that into account.. Finally, each airline may have its restrictions, especially for the harpoons.

    1. Sausages, yes as long as they have health registration, although you should check if the country of arrival will allow you to enter them. Mirror, what size is it? Being glass I would think not. Light bulbs, could be considered dangerous because they are made of glass.

    1. They may ask you for a health registration and proof of purchase. You must review the sanitary requirements of the destination case, since some countries do not allow the entry of dairy.

      1. Hello there! You can bring the air fryer as hand luggage, as long as you do not carry an additional carry-on bag, if applicable, the airline would charge you for that additional item. about laptops, depends on each country, but the normal thing is that they allow you to travel with 1 new and used laptop, which you can carry by hand, but depending on the airport they could ask you to open them and turn them on.

    1. Ammonia gas dissolved in water (sale in chemical store) it is not corrosive or flammable. Liquefied industrial ammonia gas is stored in steel bottles the height of a normal person. So I think it will hardly fit in your suitcase. If you go to Venezuela

    Can sausages such as longaniza or black pudding be brought?? if they allow it, How should they be packed and if it is necessary to declare that they are carried?? The trip is from San Juan to Orlando.

    1. The best, it would be to take it in pulp. The safest thing is always better to take it with a health record and even an invoice. If the idea is to take them complete, the best option is to freeze them and pack them well in plastic and in covers to keep them cold, but with the risk of being confiscated.

      1. Thank you but in case of being confiscated, Of course, if he declared them and they confiscate them, there are no additional problems or fines, perhaps.?

  123. They prevented the roast pork from entering due to inadequate packaging?. My aunts have traveled to NY several times with roasted guinea pigs with heads and all, they put them in aluminum foil and then in ziploc bags, I was once convinced to wear one, I didn't know it could be a problem.

    1. you can travel with food, but a lot is luck, not all controls are the same at all airports and not all flights have the same customs and anti-narcotics control. If your aunts made it, it is because they have not attracted attention and it is the idea.

      You can travel with food, but properly packed, opposite case, the food will end up being held.
