Whatever airline you use, you can bring on food from anywhere to consume onboard. The only restriction is that you cannot bring some things, like fruit, for instance, back INTO the US from outside the country.

Huh. Never seen that. I don't understand, someone can be so allergic to peanuts that they can't even be in close proximity to them? That's weird.

Southwest gives ONLY free peanuts and pretzels on flights but they will not give them out if someone alerts them of their allergy. Back to the original question..there is no way (other than smell) that the airline would know what you brought on board for your snack. Probably a good idea not to make it a PB & J sandwich

Every airline that I've every flown on allows people to bring food on board. As a courtesy to others, "fragrant" foods should be avoided.
When flying internationally to the US, plan to eat whatever you bring with you while you're on the flight into the US. Don't plan to save half for later. Skippy the Wonder Beagle, the dog which you may see at Baggage Claim or other areas, is an Agriculture Dog, not a DEA Dog. Skippy is looking for food - veggies, meats (sounds like sandwiches!), fruits, etc. in checked and carryon luggage.

Skippy the wonder beagle has often been interested in our suitcase when we have brought back a wheel of gouda. Generally the guy will ask us if we have food in our suitcase and when we say 'yes a BIG wheel of gouda', he says ok and moves on! Never had to open the suitcase.

Bring what you want - Delta has no restrictions. EC gets you a little more leg room, free drinks, and an "enhanced" snack basket that is passed two or three times instead of once, and you can take more than 1 snack. "Enhanced" means bananas, sun chips, different cookies, potato chips are added instead of the basic Bischoff cookies, peanuts & pretzels. Plus you get on earlier so you always have overhead space. We book EC for the leg room - nothing else.

Carol,
'Skippy,' a cute little beagle, got me at JFK one time, too.
I wasn't aware John hadn't disposed of his unfinished piece of RB grinder on the plane. He left me to wait at the baggage carousel for our luggage while he went in search of the rest rooms.
When the dog got to me and wouldn't leave my side, the handler asked me if I had any food items, and I unwittingly said no. John rescued me and pulled out the foil wrapped half sandwich and all was fine but I was a bit nervous for a minute or two. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
Respectfully,
pat

Reminds me of the first time we flew after 911. We have a mini cooler that we generally put a few steaks, some chicken, etc., in. This particular one had a pocket on the side of it. Pre 911 we routinely kept a steak knife in that pocket, generally to use when we went to the beach with a hunk of cheese. Well, you guessed it, we forgot that knife was in there, and the TSA guys at Dulles were NOT amused at all. We almost missed our outbound flight, in some part because we unwittingly denied that we had a knife in there, having forgotten it was there.. We made it to our flight, but just barely..

We didn't even think about a fine. We were worried that we were going to miss our flight. That was our first concern. I guess they ultimately believed us that we didn't remember the knife was there..
