If it really is too much of an ordeal then go with an all inclusive airline who will feed and water you throughout the flight - go first class and you'll even get more leg room, leather seats and a curtain to segregate you from the "great unwashed" LOL!! thats the beauty of life today, we have choices, all possible forms of transport are available - at a cost - or not! Flying doesnt have to be a ritual or a grand occasion anymore - it can be just a means of transport.
Jo xxx From a limited range and stock. And at grossly inflated prices. And you know full well you cannot bring a flask of liquid. but you selectively failed to mention this bit ......

So what happens if an individual has special dietary needs that cannot be met airside ? Presumably there is a procedure, although at the moment I have no need of it.

and all I was doing was proving that statement isnt quite correct. You cannot take your own food and drink onboard, you have to buy something airside as was said later...

There was a moment when I thought it was me being pedantic, but it seems to be others who have the problem. No such problems when flying with Amelia Earheart when I took my first flight back in 1964, times have changed, things have changed - not all for the better. There maybe a choice of food included in a plane ticket, but the menu choice will be less varied than what is available to buy at the airport. And as Jo said, a flight nowadays is a form of transport, it stopped being an all important event years ago. |
Re: Flying with Monarch
Make your cheese & pickle sandwiches at home, wrap them in clingfilm and put them in a your bag. Decant 500ml of tap water into 5 x 100ml bottles and put them in a clear plastic bag. Simple.....
From www.directgov.uk Essential medicines, including inhalers and liquid dietary foodstuffs You are allowed to carry essential medicines of more than 100ml in your hand baggage, but you will need: •prior approval from the airline and departure airport •supporting documentation from a relevant qualified medical professional (eg a letter from your doctor or prescription) Remember to take only what you need for your journey. Extra supplies and larger containers of medicine can go in your hold baggage. |
Re: Flying with Monarch
cheese & pickle Would pickle on a sarney get through:confused:? Or would you have to separate it, place in a plastic bag and, if under 100ml, re-apply to cheese once through security and celebrating that "special occasion"... ...the 2.5 hour flight to malaga:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: |
Re: Flying with Monarch
Now you are being pedantic :rofl::p

Actually, I've never had a problem taking sandwiches either made at home or bought at a supermarket before travelling to the airport through security - including the ones with mayonnaise or pickle on!

From the Spanish end or the UK ?
And I don't do it to save money - rather because I prefer sandwiches that have a decent amount of filling, not those in which the filling doesn't come within a couple of centimetres of the edge of the bread, so when I can I make them at home. If I can't, in the UK a wider choice is available from any supermarket than I can buy at the airport. |

The reason I ask is that the Spanish end is normally a good deal more relaxed about such things IMO, in fact I have never meet any of the jobsworth types that are often on duty at Gatwick. |
