If I'm travelling to a sunny & warm destination I pack a Tapas pack. Sliced baguette, sliced meats (salami, beef & ham are good choices), some cheese, olives & maybe a little chutney or honey for a bit extra flavour

But, you'd need to consume almost all of that if traveling from the UK to EU on the journey due to the phyto sanitary rules.

Or leave it on the plane.
Same as other foods that you can't take into the EU.
Consume or leave.

Isn't that the whole point?  🤔

Never drink tea/coffee  on flights - the water to make them comes from improperly cleaned storage tanks.  Only drink from unopened bottles/cans if you want to remain healthy. Wipe the outside with an antiseptic wipe first!

Valid advice for some I'm sure, but after 40 years of flying on hundreds of flights all over the world and having never got sick I have neither the desire nor the motivation to become "that guy". 

I'll leave it to my non-overprotected 1980's immune system that grew up in literal dirt to the task it has been tempered to perform.

Is that all airlines?

How do you know this?

If this is true there surely would be widespread reports of subsequent illness ?

I wonder if airlines prohibit their pilots from having a brew on flights ?

We get a meal deal from Boots or WHSmith before we board
