SlapChop Ur gonna love my nuts

raisins in individual packs
any type of dried fruit. My 3 year old is good on the plane from Tokyo to NYC, she eats teddy grahams, dried fruit, crackers, beef jerky, and I always have a few juice boxes with me.

Lunchables are good but have to be refridgerated. How about fruit roll ups, pringles in the plastic small containers, you can buy them in small travel size. You could do peanut butter sandwich with out jelly. I will try to think of more. Good luck that is a long trip for all of you.

PB&honey, it doesnt spoil and if placed on top, it wont squish. baby carrots, grapes,juice boxes or anything that is pre-sealed for freshness. Put the childs lunch on top of your carry on or diaper bag or what ever your using for the childs entertainment during the ride. Dont forget the wet wipes.

take some french stick or bread

take some meat or jam or something he likes

make it at home before you fly

wrap it in cling film

and eat it on the plane

cookies and sandwiches with no mayo, i think planes are kept cool inside, cashew nuts, carrots, canned vienna sausages, bottles of juice

What I have done in the past is to make up some pasta, with whatever you want to add to it, ie. pesto, vegetables, cheese, ham etc. and put it in a tupperware type box with a small plastic spoon or fork. Also the usual of biscuits, fruit, sweets and the like. Hope this helps and have a good trip!

when growing up, ages ago, i had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch every day, they'd sit in my locker for 6 hours or more. the important thing is to keep the jelly side up, over time, the jelly would seep through the bread due to gravity, peanut butter is a solid "base" and prevents seepage.

i doubt if there's anything else you can really "carry on" with airline security these days, no cans at all, liquids no larger than 3 ounces, all these "sub 3 oz" liquids have to fit in ONE "one quart" ZIP-LOCK baggie (i don't know about security in italy, but in the "states" airline security is ANAL, you have to take off your shoes and have them x-rayed!)

that would leave dry foods/cereals, pretzels and chips as the only real option.

Lunchables!

Put them in ziploc baggies:

--> Nuts
--> Cookies
--> Trail mix
--> Fruit

ETC.

No worries too becuase they should have snacks and even meals on the plane. Send a Nintendo or DVD player along to entertain!!

Whatever you do - do NOT pack lunchables. They are the worst things you can give a kid!!!
