If you're flying for Thanksgiving weekend and you plan to travel to or from your destination with food, check out the edible items you can and can't bring with you through TSA.
You'll need the essentials including clothes, comfy shoes, hygiene products, electronics, and more, but you might also want to consider packing food for your trip. Whether you're loading up the necessities for nursing babies, filling your bag with edible gifts for your hosts, or even considering taking leftovers home – especially on a short flight, you'll need to be aware of what foods and drinks you can and can't bring through TSA. TSA recommends fluid-like items including jams, sauces, gravy, or beverages in quantities larger than 3.4 ounces should go in a checked bag. (iStock) Cooked meat is allowed in carry-on bags.
