When it comes to whether food can be carried in hand luggage or in the hold, above all, you must take into account the regulations of the countries of origin and destination.

Bringing food on the plane on flights within the European Union

If its trip is from one country of the European Union to another, there is usually no restriction when taking food on the plane.

Yes, you will need to take into account the airline’s carry-on baggage restrictions in terms of size and weight and those relating to the transport of liquids by air at airports in the European Union.

And if you are traveling to the EU from third countries, can you bring food on a Hawaiian Airlines plane?

Imagine you traveled to Russia and wanted to go back to Spain with some cakes and a jar of caviar. Can you bring this food on the plane?

In general, this regulation concerns meat and dairy products and their derivatives (cheeses, sausages, etc.). It also limits the transport of food containing meat or milk (stuffed pasta, empanadas, etc.) and fish or shellfish. With some exceptions, the regulations establish weight limits. What does breaking the rules mean? In addition to losing them, failure to report these products may result in sanction or criminal proceedings.

Exceptionally, the regulation does not apply to these foodstuffs if they are intended for private consumption, their quantity does not exceed 10 kilos and they come from Andorra, Croatia, Greenland, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands, from Liechtenstein, Norway, San Marino and Switzerland.
