A kosher holiday is a wonderful way to celebrate the year with family, friends, and tradition. Passover is especially great for spending quality time with loved ones. However, if you aren't prepared, Passover can be hard to manage when traveling. With so many issues regarding food and dining out, it's important that you know what to expect before heading on your trip. Here are some helpful travel tips for celebrating Passover:

Plan Ahead

Planning ahead for your Passover holiday will make your trip more enjoyable, save you money and help avoid stress.

If you're planning to travel during Passover, it's best to plan ahead and research in order to ensure a safe, happy and healthy holiday experience.


Pack Food from Home

The most important rule of traveling for Passover is to pack food from home. You can’t bring any bread products or leavened foods, so make sure you have a good supply of matzah, macaroons, and other tasty snacks from home that will keep you going until lunchtime. It’s also nice to bring along some non-perishable water bottles with you during the day; if you lose track of time and end up needing something to eat at 4 am in the morning, it’ll be really helpful to have some drinks on hand!

It's always best practice when traveling with Passover food items to pack them in your own plastic container rather than rely on cardboard boxes or paper bags provided by airlines. This way there won't be any confusion about what's kosher and what isn't--and there won't be any chance of accidentally sitting next to someone who eats bread during their flight either!


Book All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels

All-inclusive resorts and hotels are a great way to travel during Passover. They offer the opportunity for you to eat what you want, when you want. You don't have to worry about cooking or cleaning, which means you can relax and enjoy your vacation!


Bring A Seder Plate

A Seder plate is the traditional piece of flatware you’ll see at any Passover meal. It contains six items: three pieces of matzoh (unleavened bread), a shank bone, roasted egg, salt water and haroset (a fruit or nut paste). Each of these foods has a specific symbolic meaning as part of the Seder ritual.


Eat Before You Fly

Before you fly, eat a light meal that is not too heavy. Avoid foods that are too fatty or greasy and avoid those with a lot of fiber. Also, avoid bloating foods like beans, cabbage and cauliflower as they can make you feel uncomfortable in flight and may be difficult to digest. Additionally, try to stay away from acidic foods such as tomatoes, strawberries and citrus fruits as they may cause stomach pain or diarrhea while traveling.


Bring Your Own Water Bottle

The first thing to remember is to bring a reusable water bottle. This can be as simple or complex as you want it to be. You can buy a reusable plastic water bottle and carry it in your hand all day, or you could buy a fancy metal one with a straw on top, or maybe even an insulated, collapsible cup that attaches right onto the side of your bag. The important thing here is that you have something that will hold water for at least 24 hours and does not require cleaning every time it is used.


With so much to consider, it can be tricky to plan a Passover trip on your glatt kosher vacations. The best thing you can do is make sure your family has what they need—some food, a copy of the Haggadah, and lots of love! We hope you found this article helpful for your next vacation. Happy traveling!
