“I take pot noodles and porridge pots for the hotel room as we usually go all inclusive and don’t have a kitchen in the room!”

Casey also added another surprising hack in the comments section. 

She wrote: “Also take porridge for morning flights.

“You have to be careful taking a pot noodle that has sauce in it (isn’t all dry) .

“Sometimes they ask you to remove the sauce as they need to check the liquid.

“So take one with no liquid.”
