I keep a few granola bars, some trail mix, a pack of gum (to reduce ear popping) and some flavor mixes to add to the usually less than tasty airport fountain water (I bring my own bottle, of course), all packed into a plastic bag. Granted, it's no bacon, egg, and cheese, but the money and convenience taste every bit as good to me.J Wellshttp://introtoir.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8446351548038522890.post-8569095007668751442013-01-02T20:41:12.542-05:002013-01-02T20:41:12.542-05:00It's also ridiculous not to get food included ...It's also ridiculous not to get food included when the price of the tickets to Hawaii was greater than many tickets to Europe. Somehow the airlines have this idea that they no longer need to provide even snacks (for example, pretzels) on domestic flights. <br />I think there is a lot of competition on the European trips & European airlines provide food, so the American airlines do so as well. <br />I have learned to expect no food on US flights and instead bring my own, even if it is sandwiches from Starbucks. I will say that the San Francisco airport did have great food, but, even with a 2.5 hour layover, our luggage still missed the connection!Spew's Sisternoreply@blogger.com
