Go Momo:
Spring break is
upon us which essentially is the kick off for summer travel and family
vacations. Heavy travel and (if you
haven’t booked in advance) high prices mark this period. Regardless of your budget, we tend to spend
more than necessary on nickel and dime items and it adds up. One way to save money along the way is to
pack your own snacks. Airlines stopped serving free food in-flight
for some time now. Most airports have
all the conveniences of shopping malls, including food courts which many people
will stop and eat, or take something to go.
But we don’t always have time to stop, especially when traveling with
kids. Airlines cater approximately 10%
of the load, so a full 757 holds 166 passengers in the main cabin, which means sixteen
sandwiches will be catered. Along with a
bag of chips the sandwich will run you $10.00. So, if you are able to get a sandwich
you are paying premium prices and we all know that airline food isn’t all that
healthy. I suggest packing peanut
butter sandwiches, cut veggies, sliced fruit like the store bought bags of
apple wedges etc... Just think of what
you pack for a school lunch and take out the liquids. I do suggest purchasing bottles of water
after security. Most airlines supply
free bottled water, but they are usually small bottles or the water is served by
the cup. Always be prepared for delays
when traveling, have fun, and GoMoMo!
