PASSENGERS flying with TUI, easyJet, Ryanair or Jet2 this summer are being urged to check the full list of banned food and drinks before heading to the airport – or risk having their items taken away.
From cold snacks to hot drinks and alcoholic beverages, the rules on what you can and can’t take onboard vary between airlines – and breaking them could lead to your items being confiscated before take-off.

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.
