Snacks for flying

It's true: Most domestic airlines don't serve much in the way of food these days. If you need to pack a snack, consider these tips:

Dried fruit is less messy than fresh and has no core, peel or stem to dispose of.
Cheese, with or without crackers, is filling while not making too big a mess. Peanut butter crackers also work well.
Avoid salty snacks that will make you thirsty.
Gelatin or pudding cups are permitted through security as long as the container is three ounces or less. Remember to bring a plastic spoon.
