Packed lunch with no overnight refrigeration

[Twizbe]

Please help me with some ideas here. Lots of back story but basic situation is this;

DS is 6 years old and allergic to milk. We have a holiday coming up and I'll need a packed breakfast and lunch for him. I won't have a fridge overnight or cooking facilities in the morning.

We will be at an airport for breakfast and on the plane at lunch time.

Experience has taught me that finding something beyond crisps / fruit at an airport that he'll eat is impossible.

He doesn't like ham or eggs.

I'm taking some vegan croissants for breakfast but I can't give him those for lunch too ... can I?

On the way home we've ordered the children a meal as it will be over tea time and chances of finding suitable food in that airport are even fewer. Don't really want to order him a meal for the way out too as £££ and there only 1 dairy free choice. Plus that also comes with chocolate and cheese crackers which can't be substituted (I've already asked and pointed out the issue to the airline)

So any ideas?

Thank you :)

What about some little banana pancakes? You can make them ahead of time and great protein rich food, I make mine with milled porridge oats and oat milk x

I’ve taken a very fussy (autistic) child on a long flight before. He wouldn’t eat any airplane food. I just went for a lot of snacks. You can absolutely give croissants for lunch as well as breakfast. Don’t worry about nutrition, as someone up thread said. Just take whatever he’ll eat that’s packaged. Planes always make time feel a bit weird anyway, so having a proper meal becomes less necessary. And it keeps them quiet if you just keep throwing snacks at them!

The fruit snacks they sell in the ambient foods aisle

If you can get hold of any of the individual serving packets of honey/jam and have them with the ready made scotch pancakes from the bread section.

World foods section is usually good for individually packaged pastries (apricot jam filled croissants, Jamaican spiced buns).

Tupperware of cherry tomatoes, mini cucumbers, radishes, baby carrots can all just be eaten raw as they come without need for any utensils and will last nicely out of the fridge.

Little jars of meat or fish paste or spread, crackers, muffins, cherry tomatoes, grapes, crisps, pepperamis if he doesn't find them too spicy ( not the low fat ones), Mattesons smoked sausage (not the low fat ones). Jam. Biscuits. Jelly sweets. Juice boxes.
All are fine to serve unrefrigerated (at least until opened).
