A WOMAN has revealed how she dodges having to fork out for food and drink at airports.

However, Tiktoker 'letsbefranc' revealed how she never goes hungry and never hands over any money.
In a video, she showed how she brings her own sandwiches, crisps and sweets to the airport, while also revealing how she avoids buying water.
She said: "We got through airport security in ten minutes at Gatwick.
"We got all of our food through, so I'm going to show you what food I brought through security, which was fine. It's just another good hack for when you're trying to travel cheaply.

"Airport food can be quite expensive and also the queues here are crazy, so we're glad that we brought our own food."
She revealed what she brought through with her so she didn't have to spend any money after security.
She continued: "The first thing we brought through was an empty bottle of water and filled it up at the water fountain here because there are water fountains available at every airport. You're allowed to bring an empty bottle through.
"I brought us both a ham and cheese roll each, a packet of crisps each and we also had a banana each.
