感恩节带食物坐飞机先分清:派和火鸡可随身带,肉汁与蔓越莓酱超3.4盎司要托运

感恩节是11月26日,不少人要带着自家做的菜坐飞机回家。美国运输安全管理局的感恩节食物指引把规矩说得很直白:固体食物可以随身带过安检;能倒、能抹、能喷、能压、能倒出来的东西,只要超过3.4盎司,就要放进托运行李。
可以随身带的包括烘焙食品,比如自家做或店里买的派、蛋糕、饼干和布朗尼;各种肉类,火鸡、鸡肉、火腿和牛排都可以,冻的、熟的、生的都行;填料熟的生的、装盒装袋的都可以;砂锅菜只要是固体的就能带,通心粉奶酪要带已经做熟成型的,或者把原料带过去到目的地再做。新鲜蔬菜、新鲜水果、糖果和香料也都在可随身带之列。
要托运的主要是酱汁和罐头类:蔓越莓酱自家做的和罐装的都算可涂抹食品,要托运;肉汁同理;带汤汁的罐头水果和蔬菜、果酱果冻类、枫糖浆,还有葡萄酒、香槟和气泡苹果酒,都要放进托运行李。砂锅菜里如果带汤、酱汁或肉汁这类液体成分,那部分就要守液体的3-1-1规则:每件不超过3.4盎司,装进一个夸脱大小的透明可封口塑料袋。
管理局还提醒,随身行李里的食物常常要多过一道检查,打包时放在容易拿取的位置,过安检时从包里取出来放进筐里;需要一路保冷的食品可以带冰袋,但过安检时冰袋必须冻得结结实实。拿不准某样东西怎么带,可以用 myTSA 应用里的「What can I bring?」功能查询,也可以发短信「Travel」到 AskTSA(275-872)提问。(来源:美国运输安全管理局)
Flying With Thanksgiving Food: Pies and Turkey Can Ride in the Cabin, While Gravy and Cranberry Sauce Over 3.4 Ounces Go Checked
Thanksgiving falls on November 26, and many travelers fly home carrying a favorite dish. The Transportation Security Administration's Thanksgiving food guidance states the rule plainly: solid foods can go through a checkpoint in a carry-on, while anything you can spill, spread, spray, pump or pour, in a container larger than 3.4 ounces, belongs in checked baggage.
Foods that can ride in the cabin include baked goods such as homemade or store-bought pies, cakes, cookies and brownies; meats including turkey, chicken, ham and steak, frozen, cooked or uncooked; stuffing, cooked or uncooked, in a box or a bag; casseroles, as long as they are solid; and macaroni and cheese that is already cooked and set, or carried as ingredients to cook at the destination. Fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, candy and spices are also on the carry-on list.
The checked-baggage list is mostly sauces and jars: cranberry sauce, homemade or canned, counts as spreadable and must be checked, and so must gravy, canned fruits or vegetables packed in liquid, preserves, jams and jellies, maple syrup, and wine, champagne and sparkling apple cider. If a casserole contains liquid or semi-liquid parts such as soup, sauce or gravy, those parts must follow the 3-1-1 rule, in containers of 3.4 ounces or less inside one quart-sized clear resealable bag.
The agency also notes that food in a carry-on often needs additional screening, so travelers should pack it somewhere easy to reach and take it out into a bin at the checkpoint. Ice packs are allowed for keeping food cold, but they must be frozen solid at screening. Travelers unsure about an item can use the "What can I bring?" tool in the myTSA app or text "Travel" to AskTSA at 275-872. (Source: Transportation Security Administration)
