I can bring food on United Airlines?

Travel Info
My friend just told me that I would be able to bring a sandwich made from home on my flight to Paris...just no beverages. So I can bring any food?

Travel Tips

On United, you can. I fly with United about every other month and I have carried McDonald's, Burger King as well as my own food.

I have also carried sodas on the plane, but they were purchased after security. This rule seems to vary between airports. When I flew out of San Francisco to Tokyo, I couldn't carry a soda onboard, but from Dulles to Frankfurt I could.

No!!!No food!!I'm sure....!!!
Well they might let you,especially if it might save them serving you a dry child size biscuit with 1 sliver of meat. Or what about the Parmesan chicken that is the size of a quarter. So ya try it. Stick it under your arm pit to keep it warm.
Those French are pretty particular... they might not let the food in if it's not "properly prepared" :)

Seriously, though... it shouldn't be a problem. On US Domestic flights its no problem at all. Still, to be safe, check with the airline. I know that some countries do not allow you to bring in "perishables" such as fruit...
Shouldn't be a probelm so long as what you are bringing does not include liquids (soups, etc). So if you made a sandwich of some sorts and had it wrapped up in your carry-on you should have no problem bring it onto the plane for either domestic or international flights. I would not recommend bringing it into another country upon arrival as it may cause problems depending on what you have on it. Besides, I can't imagine wanting to eat a sandwich that had been sitting for hours un-refrigerated.

You may also want to bring some pre-packaged snacks which would be non-perishable (granola bars, cookies, chips etc). These you should be able to bring into Paris without incident so long as they are still unopened.
Yes, you can bring a sandwich from home on board your flight. I bring snacks with me all the time.
It depends on the screener you have at the airport. If you can get it through security and fit it in a small purse or briefcase you can usually carry it on.
