I don't know if it works in every airport, but it works in NYC. A long time ago, I had bought something at the airport food convenience store and they gave me a bag. I kept the bag and put my own food for the plane in it. TSA doesn't care how many bags you have with you, just as long as the stuff in them is allowed. Meanwhile, because of the CIBO vendor bag, I basically get to have 1 carry on (my backpack) and 2 personal items, because it looks like I bought food at the airport.

[@TheoryofSimple]

That is true! If it’s a food item, they presume you’re going to eat it and get rid of it when they collect the garbage. For me I am going to eat it but I’m going to have to keep my containers. I think as long as the airlines are not serving food, they have to be able to give people options to bring her own due to blood sugar issues, and like one of the flights I took earlier this year with my dad where we were stuck for a long time and all of the restaurants at the airport we were diverted to were closed by the time we landed so I think that is something they’re going to just have to allow until they start serving food again🤷‍♀️😊

[@HuskyMama1009]

Great video! I looooooove the line "I like to take a lot of stuff minimally" because that is exactly me!! I believe most Moms can relate

I smiled a couple times (at least lol) during this video. First when I thought "Mary Poppins" as you pulled each little container or spoon or little thingamabob out of your pouch! You have so much in your little bags and pouches - I love it! Hearing you call yourself a bag lady made me smile -. That's what I call myself too. You can never have too many bags!

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@beckysonnier6369 😝 right! I have SOOOO many bags. I save bags and containers….I guessI feel like there might be a need to organize and compartmentalize stuff. 😍

[@sunnyscott4876]

I learned from flying during Covid that I can survive on a 4 hour ✈️ flight with a little bottle of water and a cookie. If I put a couple of granola bars in my backpack 🎒, they usually make the round trip, and I discover them when I get home. I have very well traveled granola bars.

[@TheoryofSimple]

I remember flying during Covid, and I was so afraid to take my mask off and even drink water! I usually bring more than just a couple snacks because I flew a few times where we were rerouted and ended landing and staying overnight somewhere and it’s late and nothing is open and it’s been a long day and just wanted a little something to snack on. Last time I traveled with my dad a four hour flight became a 36 hour ordeal.

[@gwillis01]

It pays to have a vivid imagination that can see new uses for ordinary objects. It looks like you bought some miniature storage containers for fishing lures and decide to use them to store bite size snacks instead. Good thinking!!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Exactly!! You just have to think outside the tacklebox so to speak😊🙏❤️

[@MymzieLo]

I might never get to this level organization, but it's inspiring. Just remember went you flight to an another country they don't like open snack they might ask you to throw it away.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Hi Myriam! Yes, several people have also made that comment. I’m curious how people with special dietary needs travel in those countries. Also wondering why such strict restrictions on food. If you happen to know I’d love that feedback!

[@missmayflower]

The only snacks they will forbid are fresh produce or meats because they could contaminate their agricultural system, carrying diseases that could damage their crops. Processed/packaged snacks are fine.

[@clairedriscoll8628]

Genius, love it. My daughter and her vegetarian boyfriend flew on a long-haul flight recently and they ran out of vegetarian meals so her poor boyfriend had nothing to eat 13 hours and she hadn't brought any snacks along.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much and I’m so glad you got some great ideas for packing some healthy food for your next travel adventure!

[@barbaravyse660]

Please make sure you bring an epipen with you. They don’t carry these on airplanes.

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@barbaravyse660 the thing about an EpiPen as you need a prescription to get one and so unless you are highly allergic to something you can’t just go buy an EpiPen.

[@sewgatormomm]

Great ideas! I wouldn’t use those hardware plastic containers unless they also specify “food safe”, BPA free, etc.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Yeah, I have been looking for something small that is food safe with a hinged lid. I haven’t found something I like yet but I also am not that concerned because I’m not leaving my food in that for very long. I think the greater concern is if you were putting food in plastic for longer-term storage. However if that’s truly a concern of yours there are silicone bento boxes available but they are much larger. Thank you for watching and commenting and I look forward to your feedback on my other videos!

[@OMGItsHER4real]

@@TheoryofSimple I use cupcake liners inside of anything I'm unsure of. The silicone ones make a light-weight bowl in a pinch as well.

[@rebellajm]

​@@TheoryofSimpleI bought smaller silicone collapsible & latching ones at Aldi several yrs ago. They were advertised as portion control containers.

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@rebellajm I love it! I think that’s the biggest problem that I have his portion control! I am a volume eater but I don’t think I was always the volume eater because when I was a kid I eat like a bird but as I got to be an adult and pregnant, I started in large volumes of food and that was something I got used to. Now I’m on the portion control kick and it seems to be working and I feel much better after meals now. I think that’s something that most Americans could do better with his portion control.. if you look at some of the places where we eat the plates are huge and enough for 2 to 3 meals and it’s so hard for our liver to process that many calories. 😊🙏❤️

I'm so glad to have found your channel. This was such a great thorough overview of snack options in a time when you're lucky to even get chips or cookies on a flight. In The past, I've packed oatmeal, ramen, and ready-to-eat snacks, and initially received some weird looks, but I've ended up sharing with hungry people on a layover or delay when airport amenities were closed. Now, as a new mom, I'm even more determined to be prepared without being bogged down by unnecessary stuff. I'll happily be a bag lady 😃.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Hi Jappy! So happy you found my channel! It seems like since the pandemic so much about flying has changed. And of course it’s way more of a hassle and uncomfortable than it used to be. Traveling with kids has got to be one of the most challenging things to do these days. I’m going to be traveling with my grandchildren in a couple of months and I’m going to try to implement some old hacks that I used to do with my kids but we’ll see when I can actually get on the plane! thank you so much for watching and commenting and if you have any helpful tips for packing on an airplane with kids we’d love to hear them!

I think i would prefer the bento boxes instead of the plastic containers with bamboo lids. Weight restrictions makes getting metal an issue though. I never thought of using a lemon for dressing, but that salad looked a lot more appetizing then anything I have ever been served on a plane.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much! I change the containers depending on where I’m going and how many layovers I have. I have wooden ventil boxes as well and I have not brought us on the plane yet. That might be my next video though! Thank you so much for your feedback! Really appreciate you commenting and providing some feedback for our community of travelers!

@@TheoryofSimple How would you cut a whole lemon if TSA won't allow you to bring a knife? Would little packets of TrueLemon be allowed? I'm a huge salad gal and that meal looks amazing -- and as a backpacker, I already own a lot of this stuff but never thought about using it on a plane! 🙂

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@leapintothewild Cut the lemon at home before you bring it and place it in your salad then all you have to do is squeeze it on top of your salad😀

[@leapintothewild]

@@TheoryofSimple Yep, but you mentioned leaving it whole when you were talking about possible leaks, so I was wondering how you’d deal with it if you did that. 🙂

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@leapintothewild I sometimes I bring a backpacking folding knife that I bring that will cut the lemon but I generally cut it in half and then put it in my salad.

Now I realized why I like your videos so much, and it's because of the products you use. You don't use those typical cheap plastic products that I see on other videos and that I really don't like. Plus you care about eco-friendly and reusable things. I was surprised with the first video I saw from you, the one with the "Best EDC multi tools", I haven't found many videos on this platform of women carrying a Leatherman, for example. Or now, in this video, the Sea to Summit cup, or the wax cloth... etc. These are the kind of things that I buy or would buy! 👌🤗

Hi there! Yes, Mitos he was one of my favorite things to take on a flight! That little bit of salt just helps satisfy me when I’m flying. I carry chopsticks with me so I can get all those little bits in the bottom of the bowl! Thank you so much for watching and commenting and I’m so happy you’re enjoying the content.

I had the sandwich size and the XL size of these, and the ******* mice chewed them up!!!! So I just ordered news ones - largest size in the polar bears (for food), regular size in folk art birds (for travel kitchen) and mini child size in baby sloth (for sweet stuff, or I will totally overindulge in that category!) They are so adorable!

I love your travel packing videos! Such great suggestions. OK, not just *great* as I find many of your suggestions to be BRILLIANT for how I like to travel!!! Thank you so much for sharing them! Btw have you seen Envikit? I just got one and love it. In a small plastic case there is a whole set of flatware plus chopsticks and straw that can travel in your purse/pocket (I hate trying to eat in my hotel room using plastic).

[@TheoryofSimple]

Hi Kim! First of all thank you so much for thinking my ideas are brilliant! I have not seen the Envikit utensils! Gonna have to take a look at those now! I’m always loving getting new hacks from fellow travelers so thank you so much for that! I hate using plastic as well and the last few times that I’ve gone to a hotel like Springhill suites or some thing they don’t have anything in the hotel rooms! So that has up my game on things that I need to pack with me when I travel! Thanks again for watching and commenting so happy to have you as a contributor to the channel!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much, Heather! They also have some great bento boxes, and other sort of snack boxes on Amazon! Here is one similar to mine! amzn.to/3XCmBmZ enjoy being creative with your snackle box!😀

[@HelloL.G.]

Thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed the video. I actually have that same miso soup, and prefer chopsticks too. I have been looking for a nice wooden pair to travel with that were sturdy enough. The snack containers with the lids attached is really a fabulous decision. As much as I enjoy my lock& lock little container with dividers, how many times do we need to drop the lid in turbulence? never again with it attached! I have used a cloth handkerchief to wrap food in before, but the waxed cloth is probably a better idea. I have used a small 10ml spray bottle for olive oil and used a packet of "real lemon" which is lemon juice that is crystallized like sugar. Packing some cooked rice could make a nice addition to the soup, and make it more filling without taking up a lot of space. sort of a step in between the snacks and a full meal.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Hi LG! So happy you enjoyed the video and got some really great hacks and new accessories for your next travel adventure! I’ll have to try the little spray bottle for the olive oil. That’s a great tip!

[@rebellajm]

There also are TrueLime packets. I carry both in a recycled Altoid tin in purse or backpack along with couple favorite teabags for when unavailable when away from home.

[@CarolgTX]

Hi Eunice, I love all of you ideas, but I was thinking about the snack containers you got from the hardware store. They are a great size, but not necessarily made with food safe plastic. I use slim pill boxes with separate compartments. They are about the same size as your containers and 5 food safe plastic. Just something to think about.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much and you’re absolutely correct. The ones from the hardware store or not food safe. However, I do feel since I’m not leaving food in there for very long and it’s not a liquid or being heated. It’s probably pretty safe.. although I do like your idea about the pillboxes, I just find the compartments are so small. But they do make food safe ones now on Amazon now snackle boxes are becoming more popular.💕😊

[@CarolgTX]

@@TheoryofSimple yes, they are becoming more popular! I was lucky to find pill boxes that have deeper compartments. I love them. I have two, like you. One for sweet, one for savory.

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@CarolgTX love it! I’m gonna look for some of those on Amazon, so I can switch out to something more food safe! Thank you again for sharing that💕

I'll write a "real" comment in a bit but for now please tell me what is your favorite individually wrapped green tea? Loved this and all your information!

Hi Debralyn, Believe it or not the Kirkland brand of organic green tea is my favorite packaged green Tea bag. I like that it’s in a waterproof bag and it’s perfect for travel. However when I’m home I use looseleaf green tea. I’m looking forward to your other “real“ comment!

Those chopsticks look great. I have severl sets, but all have the same problem along with one or more others. They fall out of there carrying case. The way they screw together is not good so they loosen when eating, and they are slippy.

So far, I really like these chopsticks because the Rosewood. I also like that they have brass fittings, and I have not had them come apart. 🙏❤️😊

We’re more worried about our luggage weight. Aeromexico allows a carry on and personal item but only 22 lbs TOTAL. Otherwise $30 for checked bag.
