Here are some travel food ideas. Best to try to keep things simple – easy to eat, not so bulky, and no overpowering smells (like a boiled egg). The New York Times had an article about freezing food first and used shrimp cocktail as an example, but I'm not so sure that travels well. I imagine it would be soggy and a bit smelly for your fellow passengers....

These empanadas were a handy, substantial meal |
For short-haul flights, depending on the time of day, it's pretty easy to bring along a snack. For early morning departures, muffins, or bagels are a handy breakfast. Fruit or vegetables that travel well too (no pun intended), like apples, clementines, avocado (cut in half and the pith removed) carrot sticks are great, as long as you're not travelling to foreign lands, in most cases, eat them before you land, (Note: from Canada to the U.S. customs is before your flight, so don't bring any fresh produce for your flight.) Granola bars, dried fruits and nuts are a good and healthy energy snack for any time. For afternoon or evening flights, your favorite sandwich, empanadas or foods are fine at room temperature like a pesto pasta, or couscous with vegetables or sliced meat for more substance. A tub of chicken salad is also great. For long-haul flights, bring a bit of everything, especially if you are changing time zones. Try to eat the correct meal at the time of your destination, to get a head start on the time change.
Most importantly, stay hydrated, we always have water bottles that are filled once we pass through security. Happy travels!
