You are going to travel and you wonder, can i take my Own food on a low cost airline?
Your flight is coming up and it will be on a low-cost airline, most likely you bought this option versus legacy or traditional airlines because you want to save a few bucks.
It could also be, because it fits your schedule needs, but whatever the reason, at a low cost, the food service can be paid or even non-existent and that is when many of us have wondered if we can bring our own food.
Bring food on flight
the answer is very easy: Yes, you can bring your own food, but keep in mind the following points:
- Due to aeronautical and airport regulations, you can only enter beverages or any liquid up to 100 ml.
- Food must be properly packaged and sealed.
With these two basic points we can see that we can take any type of food on board the plane, more if you don't want to spend extra, I recommend bringing your food and buying drinks from the airline service.
A sandwich and drink on an international low-cost airline flight can cost anywhere from $8 dollars up with various options, so surely buying outside the boarding area or in your nearest supermarket would be half or less of the value in flight.
But, that you can bring your own food on board does not mean that you can take anything, especially for the following:
- I respect the passenger next to you and everyone on the plane.
My recommendation is to take mainly, cold food that emit less odors such as sandwiches, potato chips, biscuits, snacks and even some fruit that does not crush, obviously.
Nobody likes unpleasant odors., thus, always avoid carrying things that can be damaged (like fish buns, crabs, ceviche and others). Imagine an unpleasant smell of 37 thousand feet high and still with 4 flight hours ahead.
We all love the food of our land or our mothers, but out of respect for others, let's take into account that what we carry, no matter how much we like it, might displease others.
What food did you ever take on board?

Hello there, a question, and on a domestic flight within Ecuador you can take food, I don't know something like that let's say like fry in the luggage, not to consume on the plane?
Yeah right, no problems, but that it is well packed and sealed.
of course, no airline forbids you. I usually bring cold sandwiches or cold salads. With liquids we do not complicate ourselves, we do what they do for the Europes, we take our thermos, we pass it empty through baggage control and then we fill it with water at the airport.
There are some low cost that could give you problems, I have read some cases. From there, what you mention is correct and can be done without problems.
good night is a great article. Something strange happened to me in Guayaquil because it was my first trip and I had yogurt and bread for my usual breakfast in my backpack., The girl at the control told me that as soon as I passed by I should eat it because liquids greater than 100ml were not allowed and less if you did not buy them at the airport.. But a sandwich that I bought in New York did not cause me a problem, so I would conclude that: Sandwiches, pan, biscuits, solid candy yes, but liquids better to buy in the duty free after passing the control and before boarding the plane.
On all international flights, when passing through filters you can never take more than 100 ml of liquids, that as a general rule.
Liquids up to 100ml?. That's less than half a glass, maybe the correct value is 1000ml which would be for example a bottle of still water?
100ml is the maximum that can pass through security filters of any liquid.
but if I buy, for example, in the boarding area a queue and a hamburger if I can take it?
Could you, but if before boarding the plane they see it, they could tell you no liquids.
The truth is that I have not had the opportunity to travel in a low cost but I think I will stop eating 5 hours should not disturb us as you say outside the airport or in the departure lounge itself there is food , You usually travel from Ecuador to Miami at dawn, so I don't see the need to bring food..
Depending on the time it could be a snack at most.
