Any advice?

There are 5 of us (DH and myself + 3 kids ages 10-16) landing in a European city at 10pm, probably staying at an airport hotel before driving off to our vacation spot (~2 hours away) the next morning, with a stop at a kosher market to stock up on food along the way.

I'm trying to figure out what to bring with us that I can give everyone for breakfast that first morning after arrival.

The small budget airport hotel does not have in-room refrigerators. Any ideas what I can pack? I don't even see anyplace nearby to pick up some milk (we are okay with non-CY).

Suggestions?

Bake some big protein muffins, bring some dried fruit, oatmeal packets and something for coffee like granules and dried milk powder, and hot cocoa.

Dried milk powder and a container to mix it in, cereal.
Buy a packet and try it at home first to see if it will be consumed by your people.

Thanks everyone! Not sure the kids (or we) will want powdered milk... Dried fruit and nuts are fine for me... I saw little (airplane allowable) jars of Nutella that I bet the kids will like (hey, it's vacation). Maybe I can bring some matzah or crackers?

I may be wrong but outside of America I am not sure if any chalav stam milk is kosher.

Tuna, get some small packets of mayonnaise
Unopened bottle of peanut butter and jam (doesn't need fridge) or you can buy from any plac that serves breakfast small packets of jam
Individually packed rice cake or Melba toast

That is interesting. I was under the impression that EU milk was kosher. I have been told by many that plain yogurt with no fruit additives is kosher. Isn't that made from milk?

I too think EU milk is kosher. You can check on-line re the country you will be in.

Would you guys be okay with almond milk? They sell small boxes some flavored- vanilla/chocolate.
Why not go to your local grocery and buy individually wrapped danishes or muffins? That with almond milk or water should fill you up for a while. The almond milk you can’t take in your carry on but it’s okay in big suitcase.

So bring along pastries, crackers and nuts and drink water.
Or you can prepare sandwiches and pack with an ice pack..

Theres a few issues involved.

Growing up in England, the way I always understood it was that in America, Rav Moshe Feinstein had looked into the government supervision of milk and concluded that there was no realistic way that the cows milk could be adulterated with any other milk. Therefore he permitted consuming milk products that were not chalav yisrael. In Europe no such research was undertaken. Some people hold that the safety standards are comparable to those in America, therefore one can extend his ruling. Others hold that because the system was never fully investigated from a kashrut perspective, one has to hold that the milk is chalav akum and not permitted. (It is worth noting that Europe is not one country. Even with EU standards, there is still some variation from one country to the next.)

As a child I accepted what I was told and what we did. By the time I was old enough to question it, I was living in Israel, and it wasn't a pressing issue. So there may be some inaccuracy in what I quoted above.

Yoghurts and other milk products are a slightly different issue. As I understood it, the chemical components of different types of milk react differently to processing, and producing yogurt or butter from treif milk is actually much harder than cows milk. So there is a lot more room for leniency with milk products than with milk itself.

Interesting! I was under the impression that EU milk is okay, but butter is not necessarily okay without a hecsher.

I think the issue there might be additives 9r preservatives within the butter.
