Yes, you can take your own sandwiches on a plane. However, it's important to remember that any liquid or gel-like spreads must adhere to the TSA's 3-1-1 liquids rule, which allows you to bring a quart-sized bag of liquids, aerosols, gels, creams, and pastes through the checkpoint. These are limited to travel-sized containers that are 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item. Enjoy your flight and your homemade meal!
