The rules are simpler than your cousin’s wedding speech: solids = yes, liquids = no (unless tiny or frozen). And never, ever bring durian fruit—the TSA may allow it, but your seatmates will organize a mutiny. It smells like a gym sock full of regret.
Final piece of advice: pack a snack you actually like. Because plane food is a myth. And if you get stuck on the tarmac for three hours, you’ll thank me when you pull out that secret bag of homemade cookies while everyone else is crying into their tiny pretzel bags.
Now go forth, traveler. Bring the cake. Freeze the water. And for the love of all that is holy, leave the lobsters at home.
