No i was not thinking of eggs, prob just beef or ham, maybe mild cheese depending on weather on day! Thanks also for the tip about freezing the day before joeintheuk; had just been thinking about a fold down cool bag but your idea sounds good.
We may well end up eating them in the airport anywaty as OH has 'up and down' appetite!! I hate buying sandwiches from a chiller. I always have to leave them to warm up. Thanks Graham am going to have a chat to OH as I've feeling he won't want 'warm' sandwiches on day!! Probably depends on weather - we are flying early afternoon on 30th June.
I would be making housrs before flight taking into account journey to and time at airport. Au contraire, there are many things worse than cold sandwiches. Being eaten by a lion for example. However, if you dont have a lion handy, you can let the sandwiches warm up to the optimum temperature for you, its hardly rocket science. We take individually wrapped mini cheeses, some Melba toasts, individually wrapped cake bars Mr Kipling does them , mini cheddars, crisps and shortcake biscuits!
We pack them in a Tupperware type box. I will second joe on this, being eaten by a lion would , in my humble opinion, be worse than eating a cold sandwich.

All email addresses you provide will be used just for sending this story. Inching your way through airport security is already a stressful and time-consuming process.
While much of that information remains accurate, we thought it was time for an update. Solid food items can be transported in either your carry-on or checked baggage, while liquid or gel food items larger than 3. All foods will be X-rayed the same way as your bags, electronics, and other possessions. As for beverages and other liquid products purchased at Duty-Free stores, they are allowed on the first leg of your flight. Please contact us or your airline before travel. You can carry one lighter only on board the aircraft, which must be kept on your person throughout the flight.
You will be asked to leave any additional lighters at the security point, so please make sure you only carry one on your trip. Both lighters and e-cigarettes must be included within the liquid allowance and placed inside the one litre plastic bag for screening.
Matches and lighters are not allowed in hand or checked in baggage. You may take a single butane lighter or a box of safety matches on board the aircraft but only if carried on your person. Zippo lighters are also allowed as your one lighter. Ballpoint pens, rollerball pens, gel pens and pencils are allowed, as are fountain pens with a single open cartridge in use, but any refills cannot exceed ml. Hat boxes, sports equipment and wedding dresses all constitute an item of hand baggage. However, these must fit within the baggage size and weight restrictions.
Please check with your airline if in doubt. Some airlines only allow hoverboards in the hold. We advise you to check directly with your airline if you plan to travel with one. Drones can be carried in your hand luggage as long as you meet the airlines size and weight restriction for hand luggage. You will need to notify the airline that you are carrying the batteries.
Ashes can be taken in your hand luggage or hold baggage and they must be packed in a sealed outer box or case. In order to comply with regulations, please carry all necessary documentation, including a Certificate of Death issued by an authority from the country of departure.
We do like to advise passengers in advance that ashes will need to screened along with any other items on the day.
If you would like to do so, notify a security officer that ashes are present so that they're aware. In this section you can find advice about travelling with medication and medical equipment or if you have a medical condition. Please check with your airline if you have special requirements before travelling, but be reassured that if you have a genuine medical condition supported by a letter from your GP or hospital then there should be no problem with taking such items on board the plane.
Remember, non-prescription medicines for children and adults can be purchased at Boots in the departure lounge. If you have concerns, however, please speak to a member of our security staff. We recommend that you carry a signed letter about your condition from your GP or medical practitioner. If you have a pacemaker or any other medical device that may be affected by walking through an archway metal detector, please advise our security officers prior to going through security.
Please carefully pack any equipment that you need to minimise the likelihood of security staff incurring puncture wounds. Please let our security staff know that your hand baggage contains your equipment when you present it at security control. All passengers travelling from an airport have to go through security checks and no one is exempt from this. However, we do recognise that our passengers are individuals with different needs and some need to be treated with more sensitivity.
All your questions about security and medication are answered on these pages and here we also cover other topics of particular interest if you or a member of your group has special needs or needs assistance through the airport.
Find out more about planning in advance for your trip, our facilities and services and lots of other advice in the special assistance section of our website. We always recommend that you pre-book assistance at the airport at least 72 hour in advance.
If you would like to be assisted through security then please go to the special assistance welcome desk in the check-in area. A member of the special assistance team will accompany you through the family and assistance security lane. There is a member of staff outside the family and assistance lane who will be able to advice you on the best route through security. The family and assistance lane has a wider gate for wheelchairs and buggies and staff working in this area are specially trained to take extra care with passengers who have additional needs.
Please note that some things, such as ice packs can only be brought through security with appropriate documentation see guidance for specific items. If you have a pace maker or any other medical device that may be affected by walking through an archway metal detector, please advise our security staff before going through security.
There is no need to bring any proof of metal implants with you but it is helpful to advise our security staff before they carry out the search. Security scanners are safe for all of our passengers. You do, however, have the right to decline this and request a private manual search instead. This will be carried out in a private area with a witness and you can also bring a witness of your own.
Get more tips about getting through security smoothly and other information on what is and is not allowed in your hand baggage on this page. If you or passengers you are travelling with have a disability that may not be obvious, then you can request a hidden disability lanyard from our special assistance desk in the check-in area. Staff in the airport are specially trained to recognise that anyone wearing one of these lanyards may need specific help or consideration.
Find out more information about travelling with a hidden disability. Gatwick welcomes passengers and staff regardless of age, ethnicity, colour, religion or gender. All our staff and passengers have the right to be treated with dignity and professionalism regardless of the gender they identify with.
Everyone travelling from the airport needs to follow the same security procedures and processes. For more information about what you can and can't carry through security see our security advice page.
Check-in: All passengers must also provide proof of identity when they check in for their flight usually your passport. The date of birth, gender and name of the passenger on the reservation must match that on your passport or government issued photographic ID. It does not matter if your current gender presentation matches that given on your documentation or that of your photograph.
Security: If you are required to be hand searched at security, you may select the gender of the officer which you feel most comfortable with to perform the search. You should also be aware that at any point in the process, you may ask to have a private search.
If you do so, you will be taken to a private area, out of view of the travelling public and other members of staff. You will then undergo a full body search both by hand and by use of a hand-held metal detector.
