How to Pack Freeze-Dried Indian Food for International Travel (Airlines Guide 2025)

Packing for an international trip is stressful. Clothes, documents, electronics… and for Indians — the most important question: “Khane ka kya karna hai?” 😅

Because let’s be honest: airplane trays are bland 🙄, eating out abroad is expensive 💸, and nothing feels like home the way a plate of Rajma Chawal or Masala Khichdi does.

That’s why in 2025, Freshoneed freeze-dried Indian meals have become the ultimate travel essential — lightweight, customs-friendly, and ready in minutes. But how do you actually pack them for flights? Let’s break it down.

🌍 Can You Carry Indian Food on Flights in 2025?

Yes — but with rules. Airlines and customs are generally okay with sealed, vegetarian, dry foods like freeze-dried meals. What they don’t allow:

  • ❌ Liquids, curries, chutneys, pickles
  • ❌ Fresh fruits, dairy, or meat
  • ❌ Loose homemade food without packaging

👉 This is where Freshoneed shines. Our meals are factory-sealed, dry, and vegetarian — making them airline-approved and customs-friendly.

🧳 Step-by-Step: How to Pack Freshoneed Meals for Flights

Here’s your airline-approved guide to carrying Indian meals abroad:

1. ✅ Pick the Right Meals

Choose Freshoneed freeze-dried pouches. Unlike liquid curries or tins, our pouches are travel-friendly and pass baggage checks easily.

2. 🎒 Travel Light with Pouch Packs

No bulky cans, no leakage drama. Tear off outer cartons to save space — the pouches alone are enough.

3. 📦 Organize Smartly

  • Use ziplock bags for groups (breakfasts, mains, snacks).
  • Keep labels visible (our pouches already mention water quantity).
  • Bonus tip: mark favorite meals — hostel kitchens abroad can be chaos at 2 a.m.

4. ⚖️ Balance Your Baggage

  • Each Freshoneed pouch = 30–70g only.
  • But a semester’s stock adds up. Airlines usually allow 23kg check-in + 7kg cabin — prioritize staples like Khichdi, Rajma Chawal, Dal Makhani first.

5. 🛂 Keep a Few in Cabin Luggage

Trust us — after a 12-hour flight, you’ll thank yourself when you rehydrate a Veg Biryani instead of eating another sandwich.

🚫 Foods You Shouldn’t Carry

To avoid last-minute airport stress, skip:

  • ❌ Pickles or gravies (liquid-based items are banned)
  • ❌ Fresh fruits, milk, or cheese (restricted by many countries)
  • ❌ Open packets or homemade dabba food (gets discarded at customs)

👉 With Freshoneed freeze-dried meals, you don’t need to risk it. Everything is sealed, vegetarian, dry, and compliant.
