Passengers travelling from the UK are being urged to double-check airline guidelines before heading to the airport, especially as rules continue to tighten, particularly on flights to EU destinations.
That's because under current post- Brexit regulations, any food products containing meat or dairy – including sandwiches, yoghurts or even packed lunches bought in the airport – are banned from being taken into the EU, regardless of where they were purchased.
Here's a breakdown of what's banned or restricted on flights operated by the UK's biggest budget carriers:
TUI offers complimentary meals and drinks on flights lasting over seven hours.
For shorter journeys, snacks and beverages can be bought onboard via a trolley service – but passengers are also allowed to bring their own food.
However, TUI is clear that any food brought onboard must be 'low-risk,' such as cold snacks or pre-made sandwiches.
The airline also warns it cannot heat food for passengers, aside from baby bottles.
Crucially, passengers are not allowed to drink any alcohol they've brought from home or bought in duty-free – even if it's sealed.
Alcohol must be purchased on the flight if you want to enjoy a drink in the air.
EasyJet is fairly relaxed about food onboard, and passengers are welcome to bring their own meals.
However, they should be aware of liquid restrictions and destination-specific rules.
According to the airline: 'You can bring food into the cabin, although we do sell a range of delicious food and drink on board.
"There's a 100ml limit for liquid food, like soup or custard.'
Hot drinks are allowed if purchased at the airport, but they must have a secure lid to reduce the risk of burns during turbulence.
The airline also reminds passengers to check rules at their destination – some countries have stricter customs policies around food items.
Ryanair takes a mixed approach, allowing passengers to bring their own cold food and soft drinks under its 'feel free' policy – but strictly banning hot drinks and alcohol.
The airline advises: 'In the interest of safety we cannot allow passengers to board the plane with hot drinks or consume their own alcohol during the flight.'
That means even if you've bought alcohol in duty-free or at the airport, you won't be allowed to drink it onboard.
Cabin crew are authorised to confiscate items if rules are broken.
Jet2 operates one of the strictest policies when it comes to food and drink.
According to the airline: 'You may not bring hot food or hot drinks onboard the aircraft.'
Passengers are also warned not to carry any items that are 'unsuitable for carriage' – this includes food that is strong-smelling, fragile or perishable, and anything that may impact the comfort or safety of others.
Despite these rules, Jet2 does offer a wide selection of food and drinks for purchase during the flight, with options for most dietary requirements.

Barcelona star confirms new partner just three months after announcing split from his wife of almost eight years
Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Ande ter Stegen has gone public with his new relationship just three months after announcing the split from his wife of nearly eight years. The first of two photos shared on the German's Instagram account showed what appeared to be his hand held by another and resting on the knee of a person in a floral dress, with the accompanying caption 'junts', which means 'together in Catalan'. A second image featured a smiling woman sitting by the sea and looking out to the sunset. According to Bild, the shotstopper's new flame is rumoured to be Ona Sellares. She also appeared to confirm the romance by posting images from their Athens getaway and sharing Ter Stegen's story. Additionally, after German's 2-1 Nations League defeat by Portugal earlier this month - Ter Stegen's first International minutes since returning from a ruptured patella tendon - she posted a photo of herself wearing a Germany shirt at the Allianz Arena. Little is known about Sellares, who has almost 19,000 followers on Instagram. Barcelona star Marc-Andre ter Stegen confirmed he was separating from his wife Daniela in March It comes just three months after the 33-year-old announced that he and wife Daniela are separating after almost eight years of marriage. The Blaugrana star began dating Daniela Jehle back in 2012, when Ter Stegen was still playing for Borussia Monchengladbach. Jehle followed Ter Stegen to Barcelona when he joined the club in in 2014 in a £9.7 million move. The couple married on May 15 in 2017 with a small ceremony near Barcelona, before having a church wedding in Tuscany. Ter Stegen and Jehle have two children together. The couple confirmed their split in a joint statement on social media. 'After careful consideration, Dani and I have decided to go our separate ways,' the joint statement read. 'This decision was not an easy one, as you can imagine, but we both believe it is the best step for us. 'Our joint focus is on doing what is best for our children, ensuring they continue to have a loving and stable environment. 'We remain committed to working together as parents and treating each other with respect and appreciation as we always have.
