You actually can fly with a turkey and even some side dishes in your carry-on, according to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
If you’re traveling for Thanksgiving and you’re in charge of bringing the all-important turkey or some side dishes, there’s good news: Certain airlines will allow you to fly with a cooked turkey and more in your carry-on. Yes, you read that right.
But it’s not only a full turkey that you can take with you — you can also bring some side dishes and desserts, including the Thanksgiving staple, pumpkin pie, as long as they’re all in tightly-sealed plastic containers. “Whether it’s pineapple cranberry stuffing, vegetarian blueberry stuffing, or whatever other gourmet powerhouse stuffing concoctions you’ve created, these are welcome guests in your carry-on bags,” said the TSA.
Allowances aside, you still need to follow a few rules. If the food you’re bringing is a liquid, such as cranberry sauce, whether it’s homemade or from a can, it has to follow the 3-1-1 rule — meaning each liquid container must be no more than 3.4 ounces. The containers then need to be placed in a 1-quart size, zip-top bag. Keep in mind that, along with sauces, creamy, spreadable foods, such as gravy, mashed potatoes, jam and dips are also considered liquid and need to be in 3.
