lil Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Hi we are arriving in France on Easter Sunday by air. Given that nothing will be open until Tuesday, do you know if it is ok to take food such as milk, butter salad etc on the plane?ThanksLil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val_2 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Probably not if it is a budget airline, suggest you ring and ask them beforehand. Better still, why not ask on a forum if there is anyone near to your destination home that could get a few bits in for you remembering that easter monday is also a day off here with hardly any shops open too.

YCCMB Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Noticed coming back from outside the EU last week that there are new regs governing what foodstuffs you can and can't take with you - big posters up in the baggage reclaim at Gatwick. Having said that, it governs the import of foodstuffs from outside the EU to to EU, and not within or between EU countries. Maybe have a go at googling your question or check out something like customs & excise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyphilpott Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 We often take a pint of milk when we fly as for most of the week they only have long life milk in our village and that is no good for tea!Not tried other food by air though.Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Trollope Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 If travelling with Uncle Michael O'L, don't forget his new, revised, rerevised, rererevised, jumped-up-never-come-down baggage rules (available in several formats for only £2.50/bag)....

Stocky Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 All the shops in our village are open for half a day on Bank Holidays so I would carry the minimum food as you would have to pay excess baggage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameol Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Surely the big supermarches are open on the Monday after Easter? I didn't think they had bank holidays here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
