Food for baby on long haul flight

We are about to take a trip with my 15 month old and he will ride as a lap infant. The airline provides jar baby food at meal times for lap infants, but no solids. My son has been eating solids for a long time now and will need more than just baby food for the 11 hour flight. My question is what should I pack for him that will travel well and won't go bad for the 11 hour flight? I could freeze some things and use a cooler bag to keep food cold and the airline said I can request to have things heated. I just don't know what travels well. Any advice? Photo so we don't get lost.

Hi! I've traveled for many hours with my 15 month old twins. I pack them fruit pouches, goldfishes, cheese and crackers, dried fruit, mini ham and cheese sandwiches. I would stay away from anything messy ( spaghetti, rice. Anything saucy)

I've never heard of an airline that gave baby food. And we have flown with delta, American airlines, and jet blue this past year. I take pouches with me and I have a snack bag with all kinds of food. Tsa allows food.

We brought hummus and some veggies and bread to dip in and biscuits/crackers.

If you bring frozen uncrustables they should thaw but still be cold after several hours

I found some great granola bars so that would be a great option but also peanut butter sandwiches, any fruit, my son will eat cooked veggies cold so if yours will then that too, gold fish, my son loves sun chips so I'd do that, you could bring almost anything if your baby will eat things cold lol my son isn't picky at all with that

@Alyssa We are flying Turkish airlines.

I did a 17 hour flight with my LO. Goldfish, dried yogurt drops, baby granola bars, pouches, dried fruits like strawberries, baby cereal (all you need to add is water), Ritz crackers, string cheese, puffy Cheetos, cherrios.
