The best travel snacks are no-muss, no-fuss. They’re easy to tuck into your carry-on, then munch on without making a mess or requiring any special prep. It’s key that they can survive the long haul without being refrigerated.

Give yourself options when it comes to snacking. Remember, variety is important. Pack treats like flavored popcorn, granola, or cookies to satisfy your sweet tooth, and snacks like roasted chickpeas, cheesy kale chips, and homemade jerky for when you’re craving for something savory.
