I don't usually take hold luggage at all, just hand luggage, and all of that stuff goes in my hand luggage. I was questioned about a big old AA battery charger I had with me a couple of weeks ago going through Luton security, but the rest was fine (so was that once they realised what it was). I have camera chargers, battery chargers, DS and phone chargers, plus hairdryer/straighteners and adaptor plugs, all in hand luggage.

Depends where you are going.

I once saw at least a dozen large tubs of Utterly Butterly confiscated at security from one passenger.

How long is your flight? Can you manage without a sandwich?

What's wrong with them taking a sandwich onto the plane? Even if a country you are flying into has restrictions on food you can just eat it while on the plane and be completely fine.

As they are flying out of East Midlands Airport, it is 99% likely that they are flying to another EU country. As such there will be no (to my knowledge - but I may be corrected!) restrictions on what food customs will allow in. Your only problems will be with security restrictions - meaning if you want to take butter/soft cheese it must be placed in the hold. They both count as liquids as far as security is concerned (basically, anything that isn't completely solid).

Where did I say there was anything wrong in taking a sandwich? I just wondered if it would be easier just to eat before going to the airport (or at the airport) then on arriving at the destination. We go 4 or 5 hours between meals when we're not flying, so if it's only a short hop, then why not just manage without to save the faff of a packed meal?

I know from experience Foie gras is not allowed in to some (unenlightened) countries.
Dundee cake can also be a big no no, because ....................................
it spreads Dundee.
