Let's be clear—eating healthy is hard, no matter who you are. But it's much harder on the go. This is especially for flight crew and frequent travelers due to unpredictable schedules, fast-paced lifestyle, and limited food choices.

And most crew and travelers accept this. "It’s part of the job," they say, "the price of a life on the fly."  But you think differently.

You're are not willing to accept this trade-off. There are ways to set yourself up for success on the road, whatever the effort required.  

The "hard" solutions

The first solution is to prepare food and pack. Many pilots and flight attendants bring an entire piece of luggage just for their food. This involves first stopping at Whole Foods or Trader Joes and foraging the aisles for good snacks and healthy ingredients. And if you aren't able to prepare in time, you can always take the chance of finding something healthy at the airport—those rare gems buried the corners of terminals.

But these "solutions" all present the same problems: time, effort, and boredom. The time it takes to go to the grocery store, the effort it takes to shop, pack, and lug that cooler around JFK. And how many more Larabars or RX nut-butters can you possibly eat?! 

This is exactly why we started airfare: to make it easier for you to eat healthy on the go.

The better solution 

Like you, we care about our health, and we won't sacrifice our health or energy levels to keep lifestyles we love. We don’t believe that traveling and health cannot go together. They can. 

To help you connect the two we've gathered together more than 50 small-batch snack companies across North America. These companies aim to rewrite the story on snack health, variety and taste.  They are snack-making entrepreneurs with the same mindset as us—they wanted to find a way to eat nutritiously on the go. And that's why they make their snacks from real food, without junk like sweeteners, sugars, oils, gum-like thickeners or chemicals. Only fruit, veggies, nuts, seeds, beans and spices.

What crew are saying

Over the past two years, hundreds of crew and travelers are have trusted us to take the time and effort out of prepping, and to replace it with the ease and excitement of real-food snacks.

One Alaska Airlines pilot told us it takes the “guesswork out of flight prep." A FedEx pilot said, “It's gotten me to open up to tasty and healthier plant options.” And an Alaska Airlines flight attendant dubbed us the “no-brainer way to snack healthy.”

Here's what other crew and travelers are saying:

• "It made me feel completely free from airport food. They are affordable, surprisingly great-tasting, healthy snacks on the go."-Ryan E., pilot
• "They are delicious snacks that I don't have to think about."-Rose G., consultant and frequent traveler
• "It's where taste, health and convenience meet. It's just so great for life on the go. You can try to find it at the airport. The problem is, if you could find a substitute, you'd be paying more for something not as good." -Joseph P., pilot
• "Look, it takes work not to stop at Popeye's or get a burrito. airfare makes that easier; I just eat the snacks instead. The snacks are good, and the pouch fits so easily into my travel bag. I wish I had found it two years ago." -Isaiah E, pilot
• "It keeps decision-making down. It's quick and easy. It just shows up at my doorstep, no shopping, tons of variety. I was shocked how much I liked some of these snacks, especially considering I'd never heard of most of them. Last week we had meetings and training all day. No food for hours. I had my snacks, while everyone else was starving." -Chris N., police officer
• "airfare acts as such a good bridge between meals. I throw it in my bag and I know it's there when I need it. Why did I buy it? Easy...because I didn't want to eat like sh*t anymore. Simple enough." -Jesse H, pilot
• "This is honestly the best thing. I can’t believe there are people who don’t do this." -Paul A., pilot
• "It's a great way to avoid eating bad stuff on the road. It's my special treat for travel." -Allie K., pilot
