The travel treats box is still an option - the tapas box has just replaced the flight delights box. I picked up one each way LAX-ATL-LAX with my HOOU coupons this past weekend, and I thought that they were pretty good. I was actually impressed with how much food they packed into the box. Don't miss the dark chocolate!

Unless starving, then I might consider paying a little money for a snack box. I've wised up though and generally keep a cliff bar in my laptop bag nowadays.

I prefer the travel treats at $6.49 but Eat Tapas at $8.99 sounds nice. I wouldn't buy it just for the name tho...

I'm not sure why the difference in price point between this one at the $6.49, except that this one is the healthier option and the "healthy" consumer is usually more inclined to throw extra money away for perceived healthier items (like $5 organic apples)

I never much cared for the Flight Delights anyway. It looks like the Travel Treats is still the same. It's probably due for a change soon though. Hopefully they won't mess it up.

I have the "joy" of doing commuter hops on small regional jets for 95% of my flying.

I had some chocolate-enhanced granola bars with me one time (don't step onto a plane without some food in case service is delayed/non-existant). The CB guy asked "what food?" I replied "granola bars" he said "you can keep those, they sound too healthy".
Anyway, for many trips to the US into different airports I have brought and declared stuff like that no problem. I can't imagine what would be in cliff bars that would exclude them. Real meat? Unprocessed fruit, veg, dairy? No? OK then, factory product, you should be good to go.

No probs, Cliff bars are fine for entry, just declare it as food.

Every other time, I max get asked in the customs line "what foods?"
So yeah, there is a risk, but it seems very small to me. Of course, there is always the risk of secondary, regardless of what you bring. I had a student who ate his apple on the way from CPH to Frankfurt, then later that day upon landing in the US the dog marked his bag as suspicious.

To me (routinely bringing in legal food for more than 10 years) this has only happened when I had canned products containing meat (allowed, but they wanted to check).
