Food issues and airport security

Pearlkeeper · 16 Jun 19, 11:44 AM

Hi everyone

I'm having a few food issues at the moment, and the thought of getting on a flight is worrying me slightly. I know there is an M&S food at Gatwick North Terminal arrivals. I was thinking I could go and purchase something familiar and have my own little packed lunch on the flight, job done. so I was wondering has anyone else done this? The little pots of dressing and sauce are under the 100m so that shouldn't be a problem but do you still have to put them in a small clear bag even if it's prepacked?

Thank you

Yes although personally I prefer Pret airside.
We flew Norwegian on their hand baggage fare so my bag was stuffed with sandwiches and snacks . No issue going through security although I prefer to buy airside so they are out of the chiller for less time.
Liquids rule still applies so you can't go landslide to airside with yougarts , mousses, jelly, etc and of course drinks.
Everything under 100 m goes in the plastic bag or your bag will probably be pulled for searching by hand as it'll show up on X-ray as liquid.

There is I believe a Boots airside as well that would have prepacked items too
