The scenarios are almost infinite—on the move, limited flexibility, short on time, and no access to anything healthy. We’ve all experienced this on the plane and at the airport, but it extends much further than that.

It could be at a hotel or a training facility in the middle of nowhere. Maybe it’s a jam-packed day full of meetings or a long drive to a remote location. Or maybe it’s simply a day when you want to eat cleanly because, like us, you feel more productive and clearer-thinking with less in your tummy.

It’s exactly these scenarios for which you keep airfare snacks handy—when you plan to maintain energy and feel good by eating well despite difficult circumstances.

Of course, there are unplanned events too, when things change suddenly. That’s when airfare can really come in handy. It can be, as one pilot called it, your “snack insurance.”

Here are real-life examples of how our customers were saved by the snacks.

Morning work session
Kristina T., business owner

“I have snack time at 10:30 a.m. or 11 a.m. while sitting at my desk. So I keep the airfare snacks in my desk and I eat something good that isn’t a candy bar.”

On why she loves it: “I feel like I’m getting something that is good for me. It fills the pit and I don’t feel guilty about it.”

Up in the air
Ben P., airline pilot

“My options for eating in flight and between flights is limited because of time. Certain connections we fly have Biscoff cookies and on [major airline] flights there are other options, but they’re junk and get old really fast.”

On how airfare is different: “All the snacks have no added sugar and taste great. I would almost rather have a random selection to help me discover ones I like. My thinking is that anything I get from airfare will provide me with sustenance.’”

Before take-off
Lisa H., commercial airline captain

“What I find the snacks really helpful for is by the time I park, get to the airline and sit on the plane, I’m kind of hungry. I have one of the snacks in flight or on the ground. I’m not hungry for a meal, but I want something before the flight.”

On why airfare appeals to her: “The snacks follow strict health agreements. It’s also very convenient, the customer service seems very good, you have already curated what’s out there that fits with my diet.”

Shuttling to showings
Viktoriya C., real estate agent

“I’m a total health freak, and I love snacking. And I’m also always in the car on a job or checking out a real estate site, so I’m snacking all day. Literally, my car is full of snacks. airfare gives me the ability to control my snacking with an uncertain schedule. And the variety makes it so I never get bored.”

Insurance policy
Allie K., airline pilot

“I tend to get hangry, so I need snacks. airfare is food insurance—I know I always have a snack. It’s a great ‘just in case.’ It’s my special treat for travel.”

Hitting the road
Rose G., consultant

“I was tired of gas station food from driving all day to get to different job sites. When I’m in the car, I don’t want to get out of the car. I just want to get where I’m going. So I’ll just eat airfare snacks when I’m on the road, on calls, and generally whenever I get hangry.”

On what she was doing before becoming a customer: “Before airfare, I would just grab a bunch of KIND bars or something. But I got very tired of them, and I’m not sure they’re that healthy. With airfare I have taste, variety, and health on the go.”

In the squad car
Chris N., police office

“Let me tell you, if you’re a cop ,you should never go without a snack in your car—sometimes that’s all you’ll get for hours.”

“With airfare, I divide my box up into the pouches and then keep one up front in the car with me and eat the snacks while I’m driving. It gets me by, especially a few weeks back when we had a training day. We were there for 10 hours straight with very bad food options. I know airfare tastes good and that it’s not bad for me.”

Traversing the globe
Todd L., pilot

“I fly internationally, mostly to Asia. Flights leave at 4 a.m., and we’re in the air for eight to12 hours per day, and, in the hotel during COVID, we had to quarantine. Even when it’s not COVID, you still don’t know where to get food, and it’s not like you have a car. So it’s good to have snacks.

“The airline caters in the air, but most of it isn’t that good. And even if it was, if you eat that day in and day out, you want a break from it. I need to stop with Snickers and eat healthier stuff. That’s where airfare snacks come in. They show up in the mail, at a minimal cost, and they are high quality.”
