That failure mode is unbelievable. A coffee spill nearly starting a fire in on airliner??
On flights up to about 2 hours – nothing, just drink some water. Longer than that, bring a sandwich. My local deli makes excellent ones to order, so I typically get one from them. Also some fruit, typically a banana – easy to eat and not messy, pls an apple or two.
And – NO coffee in the cockpit ! ˆˆˆ

Although with wraps be careful of structural integrity issues – contents with sauces can cause structural failure of the bottom of the wrap when you try to eat it, with the result that the contents go all over your lap and the plane…
That’s exactly why I mentioned the aluminium foil. It keeps the thing assembled and also catches whatever is squeezed out the bottom. I also fold the bottom end of the tortilla. This way, the probability of the liquid phase going where it doesn’t belong is considerably lower than in a sandwich (at least for me).

Unbelievable indeed. However, just a couple of days ago a maintenance engineer I was talking to admitted that coffee spills are the single most frequent issue leading to repairs in airliner cockpits.

In my glider, plenty of water 3L normally, 5L in very hot blue days.
Sandwiches but no mayo and little butter.
Strictly no chocolate.
Cereal bars
Baby mashed fruit pouches
Jelly babies

The travel-jon is indeed good, but definitely not an option for a lady passenger
You are aware that there is an adapter called “Lady Jane”? It works quite well, however, on ground training is highly recommended :)
There are two products known as “Travel John” – one is more female friendly, the other requires an adapter.
the other is Little John no? anyway the OP topic was about food for long flights….
