    Panda express is the best airport food imo. Its the only place I’ve consistently been able to get plain grilled chicken, white rice, and broccoli. Very boring meal, but it doesnt cause my digestive system to bloat up or twist itself into knots, which is pretty peak for air travel days

      Can you guys like eat at home before going to the airport? Domestic flights don’t last more than 8 hours or so and international ones usually have food. Just don’t eat food 8 hours. Problem solved. Or bring snack/PBJ with you. Blows my mind how many people are eating at the airports. Should be a fraction of that.

        I could, but I don’t live near an airport, so I have to leave home roughly 4 hours before my flight departs to account for driving, parking, and airport security. So 4 + 8 = 12 hours without food, and that’s not even counting waiting for bags and getting to your destination on the other side of the flight.

          Doesn’t seem like a lot. Not like any significant energy is being expended sitting in the plane

            You clearly haven’t flown much, with people depending on you, or with any significant amount of luggage.

              I have. Literally travel for work every quarter plus normal family/vacation flying. Just because you can’t control your overeating doesn’t mean that I’m wrong.

                You must be a great travel companion.

                  Lol where did I say I control anyone’s eating? I was taking about myself only. But. You know I’ve mentioned PBJ for a reason. Because when I travel with my kids I pack them lunch. No big deal. Takes 5 minutes, saves oodles of time and aggravation. On the way back grab something from hotel breakfast if available.
