Ahead of the busy holiday travel season, the TSA is sharing guidelines about the foods that are okay to have in your carry-on.
Confused about what you can bring on a plane and what needs to go in your checked bags? The rules can be confusing, but the TSA gets it and they’re helping to clear things up. As we get into the busy holiday travel season, the Transportation Security Administration is sharing some lighthearted guidelines about the Thanksgiving foods that are okay to have in your carry-on and those that belong in your checked luggage.
Leftover turkey isn’t a problem, as the TSA writes, "The cooked avian creature can tag along in your carry-on at the airport." The star of many Thanksgiving dinners is fine to bring on the plane, as long as it’s cooked. Stuffing is welcome in your carry-on bags as well as pies, green beans, mac & cheese, and yams. So what side isn’t allowed? Cranberry sauce is not allowed as it’s classified as a liquid. This includes both can or homemade and must go in your checked luggage if it’s more than 3.4-ounces like any other liquid.
Corkscrews are allowed in your carry-on unless it has a blade, then it needs to go in your checked bag.
