<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi all listmates. Here comes the summary of all responds to my question: What shall I bring with me to flights for eating if something got wrong with the GF meal order reconfirmation. There are two parts in this summary: 1st Part: Why shall we have a GF food parcel with us while flying? 2nd Part: What food shall we bring with us? 1st Part: For airplane rides of any distance, definitely bring your own GF meals in insulated containers. Some domestic airlines do provide GF meals (usually they are vegetarian); you must request them several weeks in advance, but I still don't rely on them, because in many instances, they can't find the meal, or they forgot, or whatever. First, you absolutely must take goodie package to eat on the plane, for insurance if for nothing else. It has been my experience that whenever I take my own food, the airline's GF food is quite good and I don't really need my emergency package. Virgin, Lufthansa and Swissair are xcellent about this. But when I trust in the airline and foolishly don't take anything - then INVARIABLY the airline has misplaced my order, or I am served a so-called GF meal that consists of chicken and pasta -wheat pasta, that is. It is best to come prepared, just in case. 2nd Part: Lot of snacks Slices of cheese just enough for the flight Bread Cookies Rice crackers or sticks One package for my carry-on bag, two more in my suitcase. Fruit carrot sticks, etc. etc. Dried fruit in a sealed, unopened bag (customs usually won't let you bring it in if it's open.) Chocolate Pop open cans of smoked salmon Sardines Kipper snacks or chicken Sunflower seeds An apple A bottled water, Hard-boiled eggs Potato or corn chips Cold cuts like pastrami or salami A sandwich Peanuts in small bag Candies Since the airlines usually serve a green salad without dressing and the chicken "surprise" very plain, I usually take along a packet or two of salad dressing and butter and several packets of pepper and some salt. Don't forget to put extra food items in your suitcase for that first night in the hotel, when you may be too tired to go out. Telma's canned hummus and tahini, while certainly not as good as the freshly made kind, will do well here. Alon (from netanya in Israel)
