Never buy a $14 bagel again. Make a Trader Joe’s run before heading to your flight so you can avoid the honey trap of airport food.

While we can’t help with your airport coffee craving or the inevitable water bottle struggle (more drinking fountains please!), we definitely can help you load up on the good TJ’s snacks.

RX Bars: $1.99

It’s our health editor’s top ranking snack bar and a healthy, filling choice to bring onboard.

Peanut Butter Filled Pretzels: $2.99

These nuggets are better than the sad little baggy of pretzels you get mid-flight.

Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds: $0.99

It’s like eating candy, but with some added protein to stave off the in-flight hunger.

Wheat Crisps: $2.29

Get some whole wheat in your salty snacking plan with these crackers.

Chocolate Chip Cookies: $3.49

While they may not taste homemade, neither will the rip-off of a cookie at the airport magazine and snack shop.

Streusel Topped Blueberry Muffins: $4.99

For what’s basically the price of one airport Starbucks muffin, you can have four to share with friends. Buy a fancy latte with the money you save.

Caramel Popcorn: $1.69

We’ve all seen the caramel corn sold at the airport snack store. It’s like a million dollars. This is better.

Inner Peas: $1.49

Don’t want to waste your money on a half-filled bag of sub-par potato chips? Go for the peas.

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups: $0.99

These addicting candies might convince you to give up the milk chocolate versions forever.

Produce: Prices vary.

You’ll be so thrilled to bite into a juicy apple while everyone around you on the airplane eats their soggy pastries.

Some items on this list contain nuts, so proceed with caution. Listen for any announcements made by flight crews in case anyone onboard has nut allergies.
