Will you be traveling to visit relatives this Thanksgiving? Does that travel include flying? Lots of people have to travel long distances to see their relatives. Maybe you’re the Matriarch of the family and recently moved to a retirement home in Arizona. The kids want Thanksgiving at their house in Minnesota, but it won’t be the same without Grandma’s homemade apple pie; or Aunt Carol’s stuffing. So I asked the question; can you travel on a plane with foods you’ve made from scratch for Thanksgiving?
The obvious answer seems like it would be a hard NO, but I found some information from Sixt that says it is possible.
THINGS YOU BRING WITH YOU THROUGH TSA CHECKPOINTS
Here is a list of things you can supposedly bring on the plane with you:
Baked goods- These could be brownies, cookies, or bars
Bread: homemade or storebought
Pies: Careful here. It’s probably fine if it’s a solid pecan pie or custard, but probably not if it’s runny.
Cakes: Angel food, pineapple upside down cake…Yum.
Canned food: I think you’ll have to clarify this one before you go.
Meats that are cooked or uncooked,(but why would you try)? I think you’re safe bringing SPAM
Stuffing: cooked, uncooked, or in a box or bag
Hotdish
Macaroni and Cheese: Cooked, or all of the ingredients to cook with later
Fresh Vegetables
Fresh or dried fruits
Candy
Spices
