Traveling via plane with only a carry on...

Looking for suggestions on AIP snacks for travel next week via plane with only a carry on.  Your help is appreciated, thanks. =)

Take a look at Sarah's feed on Instagram: instagram.com/thepaleomom She traveled by plane last weekend and posted photos of food she brought on the plane.

When I traveled on a plane two weeks ago I brought platain crackers (Sarah's recipe) and tried fruit. I also ordered a gluten free meal which had some fish, steamed veggies and fresh fruit (I got lucky on that one).

I would always travel with some protein to help fill you up. So how about some AIP-friendly jerky (I cooked in the at 200 degrees for about 3 hours per batch). Or make ahead some burgers/meatballs and wrap in foil. They'll be good cold. And you can always do like Diane from Balanced Bites (and Practical Paleo) and bring a can of tuna/salmon or sardines on the plane She says no one has ever said anything nasty about it. She carries a small, airplane-allowed bottle of olive oil with her (an old (clean) spice bottle might work-just wrap something around it in case it spills). And don't forget a fork

My last trip, I also brought some coconut flakes, dried fruit, and carrot and celery sticks.

If you can, bring a coat or a large purse and just stuff everything in

Or, if you have room for a container, make ahead a tuna/salmon/sardine salad with an avocado and other chopped veggies. That way you'd get your healthy fat in as well

Thanks for all your great ideas. I packed a bunch of snacks for the trip and found a great market just one block from the hotel. I'll post when I return to offer my two cents on what worked well and what didn't.

How about (wild) camping and taking aip-friendly foods? I am thinking about (but find it hard to actually putting it to practice) drying veggies and vacuum sealing them. Also thinking about beef jerky and taking lard, ghee or coconutoil.
I am a bit wary about the hygienic side (botulism?) + the how to. Anyone with suggestions/ideas? Canned stuff is certainly an idea but I am wondering about "fresher" options. Thanks!

see the link above: not all AIP friendly but certainly a a very useful guide and with a little adjusting quite easy to make some of it AIP-friendly.
I've ordered the e-books (the recipe book and the planning book) very good value I think, well structured, easy to follow, especially if you're like me new to dehydrating and vacuming.
It's not exactly airplane-food...;-)) but good camping-food!
there is no section on animal-fats but after some email contact with the chef personally, he gave some tips on how to make " pemmican" as a travel-food packed with protein and fat.
ps I have no connection with " backpackingchef" other than stumbling on the site in my search.

Don't count on being able to eat the gluten-free meal on the plane (if you're flight is long enough for meals). They range from OK to absolutely disgusting, and usually have dairy, nightshades and lots of other non-AIP ingredients. If you haven't added anything back in, assume you won't be able to eat it.

I bring salads, roasted chicken and vegetables, pretty much anything as long as there's not too much liquid (they'll take it away at security if there's too much liquid). Also, forks are not allowed, so you're better off bringing a spoon if you want to bring your own utensils. Larabars are good in a pinch, but aren't strict AIP.

Forks aren't allowed? I never knew that. According to my Google search, it's because they're considered "sharp objects"...but they're not specifically listed on the Sharp Object page on the TSA site. Not helpful.

Guess it's time to break out the bamboo or plastic forks-I'd love to see someone claim those are sharp objects
