We're traveling where we won't have a lot of options for food so we're using a backpack cooler as a personal item bag then when we get there we can shop and have a place to keep food cold while we are out hiking and in our rental car.
If food is completely thawed, warmed to room temperature or left out of the refrigerator for more than 2 hours, throw the food out for safety's sake. These principles apply to meat, poultry, shellfish, some vegetables and cooked foods.
When I travel to foreign countries, they always have huge breakfast Buffets included at the hotel. I bring Ziploc bags and Tupperware containers and fill them up with sandwiches and snacks for the day. Then I don’t have to waste time looking for food in the middle of the day while I’m sightseeing. Right now I’m staying at a hotel where dinner is $85 a person. But I packed two sandwiches at lunch and I am good. If you forget to bring Ziploc bags and Tupperware containers, use the sick bags from the airplane or the hygiene bags or shower caps at the hotel. This can save you hundreds of dollars if you have kids. Also pack your old socks, pajamas, and underwear. Then throw them away as you wear them. No stinky socks in your suitcase and more room in your suitcase to bring home souvenirs. I also take a low-dose aspirin on the plane to help prevent blood clots.

Pro tip dehydrate your fruits and veggjes before your flight or DO NOT BRING THEM tsa has very weird and complicated rules with food and fruits and stuff dry food is your best friend
The insulated bag is an interesting idea. I was gonna get insulated sandwich bags for sandwiches on the plane, but it never occurred to me to get fully insulated hand luggage. I’m flying economy with Qatar from London to Australia, with a stop in Doha… to visit my brother and I’m absolutely dreading such long flights.
I always take some bottle or cup with me, just make sure it is empty before the security, and then can fill it in from fountain water station after security. Works well in plane too.
🤔Burritos will THAW-OUT, then u want to REFREEZE them? 🤔I Don't THINK THAT IS VERY SANITARY. 🤔where's the family's DRINKS? 🤔so the only snacks u have for kids to travel is fruit & maybe vegs (which is probably more for you to two)…. And no drinks for even emergency 😮
Why not skip the cold foods, just pack stuff that doesn't need refrigeration? That's what I do: PBJ sandwiches, granola bars, tangerines, apple slices, etc.
It's only a flight. Why can't you just make due? Its not like youre traveling to Siberia. Can you actually bring all those things onto the plane after having your carry-on checked. People are so babyish anymore.
Chopped soft Fruit even in an insulated bag goes soggy and is inedible . An orange is good if you want something refreshing. I don’t see the point of Frozen Burritos. Airports are warm and so are overhead lockers for your bags , so they defrost quickly and emit water and become soggy . You can’t refreeze them and you can’t get a freezer in a hotel room! . I take homemade sandwiches which are eaten in the departure lounge and I also take snacks for inflight . (We all empty our Evian sport water bottles before we enter the entire departure area and on board just ask the air steward to fill the bottles and dispose of them before we land )

Fresh fruit? Not allowed to carry on most international flights. Even if you promise to finish it all before landing, many flights won't allow it.

Im taking a plane in two days never in my life have i tried to fit all my clothes into ONE carry on
My dad is a pilot and he would get an Amex platinum so he can eat at the lounges. Just to let you all know.
Frozen burritos doubling as ice packs 😯 So creative, love it!
Do you have any ways to get over the fear of flying?

7 flight attendant years = 70 regular years

These are helpful hints. I try to pack when working. Airport gets to expensive

Airport security literally made us throw away a baby bottle for some reason.
Many flights wont allow you to bring fruit etc on. Due to national laws in the country you fly to.

Excellent-thank you!! 😊
I thought you weren’t allowed to bring stuff like that I’m bored
