Last Minute Plane Snacks

June 7, 2013 by

The other day I flew from wintery Melbourne to the gorgeous, sunny Sunshine Coast in Queensland. It was a 2 hour flight and I had planned to take a lunch box full of yummy goodies for the plane…

I had to leave home early and helped my wonderful Husband who is looking after the kids while I’m gone with last minute preparation. So the elaborate lunch box I had planned, never happened! As I was rushing out I literally grabbed some last minute snacks from my pantry and headed to the airport…


The only planned snack was the organic ginger cookies – I suffer from motion sickness and ginger helps calm me! In addition to the ginger cookies, I had 2 bananas, a packet of organic dried apricots and a couple of raw fruit and nut bars.

Don’t worry – I didn’t eat all of the plane snacks in the 2 hour flight!! I had a banana, a bar, some cookies and a couple of apricots. My last minute plane snacks meant I didn’t have to buy junk at the airport or on the plane.


I’m a tiny bit of a nervous flier, but when I’m actually up above the clouds all my stresses melt away when I see the breathtaking view of the clouds and landscape below…

I’m now on a short girls only break on the sunshine coast. Rain is predicted for the next few days, but it’s still a great deal warmer than Melbourne, so I’m not complaining!

Please share your go to plane snacks in the comments. Maybe it will help me be a little more organized for the trip home in a few days!

A quick note that you may notice that the format of this blog post is slightly different to my others… I have to be completely honest with you – this is the first blog post I’ve written “away from home” and so it may take a few days to get it quite right! I hope you enjoy the content in the meantime – thank you!
