Presumably there's no policy prohibiting customers from bringing their own food on board?
DL ground handling at JFK is appalling? That's worrying. We'll be travelling with a pushchair and a child's car seat in the hold. What's the chance of them losing / damaging either?
I've just thought, we're also travelling internally with Delta on this trip, JFK-LAX. Will that flight be foodless, too?
There will be food on the transatlantic flight (JFK-SNN).
BearX220 was talking about the domestic leg (LAX-JFK) when he said no food. Your luggage will be checked through to SNN when you check-in at LAX. Your luggage will be no less safe than on KLM or air France.
You can bring food on board.
Since your child seat would be travelling as checked baggage, a comment is in order. It would be better if you put the child seat in a bag.sack so that anything, such as, straps are not dangling. Straps can get caught in mechanisms of conveyor belt. Even then there is a chance that it might get damaged. Our child seat, even though it was securely packed in a cloth sack
was damaged on a KLM flight. At first, they denied responsibility but eventually agreed to pay for replacement limited to their per pound/kg rate. I think it was $20 per kg. Examine your child seat for damage when you retrieve it SNN. It wkill be more difficult to file a claim for damage once you have left the airport. We discovered the damage the following day. We had two identical seats, one of which was left in the car at the airport. When we arrived in Washington, we did not unpack the seat that travelled with us as we already had one setup in the car.
