Ok?! Either way, it's STILL refreshing to see management NOT throw the crew under the bus and grovel at the feet of possible scammers looking for a payday and their 15 minutes of internet fame. When they involved the National Action Network, that told me all I needed to know.

 

Who brings a birthday cake on a jet? The customers have lost their minds. And how does the AO let the cake go,down the jet bridge?

Most food is allowed. It is the liquids that are restricted. If you travel by air you might want to review these restrictions to be better informed.

Maybe someone who has a birthday brings a birthday cake ... Of course, I'm just guessing here but that would make sense.

It is a carry on item. Why would you care what they bring as long as it passes through a TSA security inspection and the candles aren't lit. Are there a lot of cake bombs on your airline or do you have something against colorful frosting?

An airline flight is not a military mission that would involve evasive maneuvers that could damage a cake. Many food vendors in airline terminals sell cake and, indeed, many other types of food that is permitted onboard planes. Maybe customers HAVE lost their minds when they think they can have a relaxing, positive experience onboard an airline flight while bringing something as radical as a birthday cake.

 

It's allowed but not sure a cake travels well, especially if it needs refrigeration. It must also get tossed around a bit no matter where it's stored.

 

Cakes are fine, but they have to be stored in legal storage areas. If there isn't room, that isn't a valid reason to not comply with baggage storage requirements. Compliance with crewmember instruction is still required. I think that's where this cake issue stemmed from.
