TravelMeal Certified Packaging & Pre-Flight Inspection Service
A physical service operating at major international airports (starting at hubs like Amsterdam, London, Frankfurt) where passengers can have their prepared food items inspected, certified compliant with airline regulations, and sealed in airline-approved thermal packaging 2–4 hours before departure. The service provides documentation proving compliance, reducing airline rejection at gate and enabling transport of temperature-sensitive items that would otherwise be prohibited.

Value Proposition
Eliminates the guessing game—passengers get a certified, documented approval from a third party that airlines recognize, removing the blanket prohibition problem. Faster than shipping separately, cheaper than buying at destination, and reliable. Airlines benefit from reduced gate-level disputes and clear liability documentation.

International travelers with dietary restrictions, expat communities traveling home, people visiting regions with limited food access (elderly relatives in developing countries, immunocompromised individuals), cultural food carriers

Travelers unable to transport temperature-sensitive food items on international flights due to blanket airline prohibitionsPassengers traveling internationally struggle to bring perishable goods (fresh food, homemade meals, specialty items) because airlines like KLM prohibit them in both checked and carry-on baggage without clear alternatives. This creates frustration for people with dietary restrictions, cultural food preferences, or those traveling to regions with limited food access, and current solutions (shipping separately, buying at destination) are expensive, unreliable, or unavailable.
