  • FYI, all the food in my bag cost about $18 for everything. All of the ready-made stuff was on sale and the things I made are pretty cost effective. I'll be able to eat lunch, dinner and snack for a three day trip for just about what a salad, soda and cookie would cost me at most airports. Nice, right!?! Oh, here's a link to Amazon for the bag! amzn.to/2uvOdPu

    Steven, I love how organized you are. But what amazes me the most is that, as tired as you are, you think of making a video at 2 AM! Love your spontaneity👍😎.

    Thanks for sharing what you carry in your lunch bag. I really liked the variety of the meals you prepared and they looked delicious to boot!

    Hi Steven, so nice of you to take the time to explain what's in your lunch bag even though it was very late and you were tired. Hope you had a good and restful sleep.

    Morninggg! Awesome video - very informative and entertaining 👍🏻- thanks for the tips regarding freezing the beverages and the type of “ ice” you use. Makes sense as you can basically “ mold “ the pacs around the food to keep your food fresh and cold. Maybe you could do a video on tips for food prep- like the different items you cook ? Loved the idea of the mini omelettes made in the muffin tins! Jelly beans ( baby Jelly Belly’s !) are awesome!! 🌞

    This and the last video...Amazing! I need to watch again to take notes. Although, the airline I'm about to train for has us on 19-23 day trips. :O Not sure how that works for food. Going to have to ask the flight attendants. I'm fearful that they have to eat out all the time. Anyhoo, Great vid once again. Thanks, Steven!

      Tracy, holy gosh! Those are long trips!!! Goodness! I'd certainly love to know what you find out about packing for those marathon trips. No, I won't be adding music to my videos...I find music (and editing, LOL) a little distracting. I removed the message regarding the music...it felt a little odd to keep it posted.

    • @wacytay

    Hey friend! I love your glasses. Question have you ever tried stainless steel containers? I use u konserve and I use my hot logic even if I have a microwave! Anyway love your food bag and you too! Fly safe

    • @flightattendantsteven
      @flightattendantsteven  10 дней назад +1

      I have. But if I leave the food in the hot logic or similar device for too long the bottom seems to burn using a stainless steel container. I prefer silicone.

    Glass conducts heat much better than plastic and its bpa free. Also glassware does not easily hold on to food stains like plastic ware.

    • @flightattendantsteven
      @flightattendantsteven  5 лет назад

      I love using glass for my food containers, but honestly, it can come down to weight. When I use my glass containers my lunch bag can weigh more than twenty pounds! LOL! Well, maybe not twenty, but boy it's a chunk.

  • @dofriday
    @dofriday 5 лет назад +1

    Thanks for this! Once I finish my training this is how I plan on packing my food for trips too. I want to stay on budget and not use my per diem if I can avoid it! Question, how do you heat up your boiled eggs? Microwaving then makes them explode lol

    Just out of curiosity, don't you get a per diem? You can eat for free?

    • @flightattendantsteven
      @flightattendantsteven  6 лет назад +1

      Yes, we get per diem. But there are a few hotels that offer their guests breakfast...and there are a few that our hotel committee has secured breakfast as part of the contract with the hotel.

  • @Alejandro-zw1fr
    @Alejandro-zw1fr 5 лет назад +1

    My question is why do you need to pack your lunch? Is it because you losing weight ? Or you can't eat or drink the food on the flight?

    • @flightattendantsteven
      @flightattendantsteven  5 лет назад +3

      While there may be some food on the plane, it's rarely healthy and you can get really really tired of it. Food, purchased at the airport or hotel, is super expensive. So, packing food is vital to staying on budget.

    I noticed that when flight attendants show what's in their lunch bag the bag is black. Do the airlines makes you carry black luggage to be in uniform or can your lunch box/bag be any color?

    • @flightattendantsteven
      @flightattendantsteven  6 лет назад +2

      HerInfinitePossibilities hi there. As far as I know, luggage for flight\cabin crew is always black. I think American gives female cabin crew a red Coach tote, but pretty much everything else needs to be black in order to be compliant.

    • @lolohenderson6475
      @lolohenderson6475 4 года назад

      All our luggage and food bags must be black

    Ugh I love meal prepping but my airline (regional airline) sends me to Mexico all the time ! I guess I can leave my food at the crewroom but that’s a lot of going back and forward lol so If I have a mexico layover or turn I don’t meal prep and it’s hurting my damn wallet 😩😩

    • @flightattendantsteven
      @flightattendantsteven  5 лет назад

      I used to use an eBags crew cooler II, but lately I've been using a Mojecto Large cooler bag...don't get the extra large, as it's waaaay to big for anyone I know.

    How do you freeze ur freezer packs on layovers??

    • @flightattendantsteven
      @flightattendantsteven  4 года назад

      Sometimes our refrigerators have freezers, but if not I just keep them in the fridge or kept on ice to keep them cold. I keep a very large zip lock bag in my cooler so I can grab ice at the hotel if my freezer packs are thawed.

  • @vicb.2500
    @vicb.2500 5 лет назад +1

    how do you keep all the fresh food for 4 days? we do not necessarily find ice to put in the bag. I'm afraid of being sick do you eat only what you bring? Are you ever going to eat at the hotel restaurant or outside? Thanks for the video. I have to find solution for me to eat ... and don’t eat the food of the airplane or room service super expensive or if I don’t want to go outside. It’s my problem I don’t eat very well because of this job

    • @flightattendantsteven
      @flightattendantsteven  5 лет назад +1

      My lunch bag is pretty big so I can take plenty of food and PLENTY of ice packs. The refrigerator in many rooms has a small freezer to refreeze them. If not I always have zip locks or other plastic bag to get ice from the hotel...and I'll occasionally get ice from the plane's galley if I need to (and we have enough). Mostly i pack frozen food, that with the ice packs, usually stays plenty cold even on long days. I rarely eat at the hotel or outside restaurants.
