Foods to Avoid on Your Next Flight, According to Experts

Choosing what to eat on a plane can be tricky. Fox News Digital spoke with etiquette experts who recommend avoiding certain foods during your flight. A former flight attendant advised against ordering hot water for tea or coffee. The water tanks on planes are rarely cleaned, so the water may not be sanitary.

Another food to skip is anything requiring ice. Ice is often handled by multiple people and can also be contaminated. Pre-packaged snacks or bringing your own food is a safer and often tastier option. The dry air and cabin pressure also affect your taste buds, so even normally delicious foods might not taste as good in the air. Plan ahead and pack your favorite snacks to ensure a more enjoyable flight.
