Thanksgiving Travel Plans? Can You Take Leftovers on the Plane? Details HERE

TSA Rules For Packing Thanksgiving Leftovers: If you are hopping a plane to visit friends or family for Thanksgiving and want to bring some of the feast home with you, there are a few things to know. The TSA isn’t a fan of certain foods, so here’s a list of what not to attempt to pack.

• Cranberry sauce
• Gravy
• Preserves, jams, or jellies
• Wine, champagne, sparkling cider

Now for the food you CAN pack if you really feel the need:

• Baked goods: Homemade or store-bought pies, cakes, cookies, brownies, and other sweet treats.
• Meats: Turkey, chicken, ham, steak. Frozen, cooked or uncooked.
• Stuffing: Cooked, uncooked, in a box or in a bag.
• Casseroles: Traditional green beans and onion straws or something more exotic.
• Mac ‘n Cheese: Cooked in a pan or traveling with the ingredients to cook it at your destination.
• Fresh vegetables: Potatoes, yams, broccoli, green beans, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, beets, radishes, carrots, squash, greens.
• Fresh fruit: Apples, pears, pineapple, lemons, limes, cranberries, blueberries, strawberries, bananas, kiwi.
