That's what I did when I didn't want to eat any of their meals. Kim - the burrito mix is such a good idea! I don't know why I didn't think of that :) Yum.

I just think of the overhead of preparing gross meals (the packaging, the transport) that aren't being eaten and going to waste. I wish airlines would let you select no meal and then not have to even worry about it (especially if you're fasting). On domestic flights this is no longer a problem, but I'm thinking of international flights where there are three meals prepared for you. Is there a way to tell an airline you don’t want a meal?

Its especially difficult when you're gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, corn-free and would like to avoid hormonal meats. I travel with nuts, spirluna tablets, oils (especially coconut), avocados, and other supplements and produce to fill in the blanks when I cant get adequate protein or decent veggies.

I still pack a few things to take along with me but on a 10 hour flight, sandwiches tend to get a bit soggy...
