I used to help passangers through customs at my old airport job. Some people knew they weren't allowed to bring certain items and would lie about it, only to be caught when their bags went through the xray. I always hated those people because I'd have to wait up to an hour while they were questioned by customs agents before I could take them to their family/outgoing flight.

Good show. Not sure how dare it is to leave a turkey out for hours, when if you reheat it.

Try it on an international flight (to Canada for instance) and expect a world of pain.

Because of the live turkey?

Most food is not allowed to be brought in, especially meat.
Search for meat products: "Fresh, dried, and cured meats (such as hams and sausages) are not permitted."

For anyone else reading, food is prohibited from going through customs at many borders, because most types of food have a risk of carrying either diseases or invasive species (often in egg form).
Not sure how it is in Europe, but generally if you're crossing an ocean customs have very strict rules regarding organic matter.
Especially the Australians, their history of invasive species is extensive (several of which were brought over deliberately for pest control, only to make the problem worse), and they would very much not like to deal with any more.

You only have to watch ‘Nothing To Declare’ currently shown on UK daytime tv, to see just how seriously Australian customs, takes the issue of smuggling in of prohibited food stuffs.

There is/was a TV series that YouTube started recommending to me. It was basically watching customs agents in Australia, UK, and Canada. The Canada ones were actually pretty strict. When someone was caught bringing in food, they often got a hefty fine because they had often filled out the declarations card saying they did not have any food. So, the fine was for lying, not having the food.

What happens if the uncooked turkey wants the ‘window’ seat?

He might even complain about the fowl smell too.

Is it just fowl or other livestock as well? What about a cassawarry? Kangaroo?

Call it a service cassowary and say it's trained to help alert you to impending allergy attacks.

Don't try to fly that into Australia. Just don't.

Just don't make a smoothie out of it first.
Also - who transports turkey without gravy? Seems criminal. Is it allowed in <3oz containers?
GhettoChemist t1_ix92xaq wrote
Can't bring a 4 oz. container of liquid, but live turkey? Sure.
SEND_PUNS_PLZ t1_ix93kpm wrote
It was probably a good idea to ban liquid Turkey
BrokenEye3 t1_ix9kvk9 wrote
I bet you could hide a sizable container of liquid inside a turkey
Elmodogg t1_ix9tstb wrote
Just wait until the first turkey tries to blow up a plane. There goes that rule.

WKRP in Cincinnati TV show: the boss (or maybe the advertising guy) dropped a bunch of Live Turkeys from a helicopter for a Thanksgiving promotion. It was Chaos! As far as cooked or uncooked Turkeys on an airplane -- it doesn't sound very sanitary to me.

As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

I was on a 12 hour international flight once and a passenger some how walked on with an entire cooked chicken in their carry-on which they ate and left the bones and carcass on the floor under their seat. We got to smell cold chicken bones for the rest of the flight. Holiday memories. 💕

I used pia ( Pakistan) 3y ago. I think someone had chickens as carry-on. No goats on this flight

No par-cooked turkeys on the planes.
SouthernBySituation t1_ix94z71 wrote
Airplane? Maybe. Getting through international customs with any meat? Hahahahaha....no. That's one of the very few questions they ask you is if you have any food. Sharing international germs is a big no-no and could threaten people or livestock. They are super serious about it.
