Pickles can go on international flights when they’re sealed, packed to prevent leaks, and meet carry-on liquid limits plus the entry rules where you land.

Yes, solid chocolate can go in your carry-on; melted, liquid, or spreadable chocolate must follow the 3-1-1 liquids limit. Chocolate is one of the easiest treats to fly with, right up until it isn’t.
