10 Foods You Should Never, Ever Eat on a Plane
There are a few unwritten rules to air travel. Leaving stinky and crunchy foods back on the ground, at home, is one of them. Of course, it makes sense to pack a little something to eat now that airlines charge for meals, snacks, and drinks — here are some good options. But by leaving these 10 foods behind on your next trip, you just might make the experience of flying a little easier for everyone. And for that, we thank you.
Eggs
Nothing will turn your fellow passengers against you like the scent of a hard-boiled egg.
Wings
Don't even try.
Tuna Fish
Leave the tuna salad at home, or else.
Whole Apples
Do you seriously think the entire cabin wants to listen to you take each delicious bite?
Sauerkraut
Take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror before packing sauerkraut as a snack.
Sardines
Just say no to any pungent fish.
Soup
One turbulent bump and you — and possibly a seatmate — are in big trouble.
Anything Garlicky
Garlic won't win you friends, but it will alienate people.
Onions
A plane ride is not the occasion to bring a sandwich packed with extra onions.
Hot, Oily Pizza
Pizza is delicious but also fragrant. Especially when topped with pepperoni, a hot slice of pizza will earn you a few dirty looks.
