Dd just finished seminary and is flying to Poland from Israel tonight on the tour. She didn’t buy any snacks. She said all the friends got tons of snack and even cereal and crackers. She said the tour only give basic meals. Is that true? What snacks can she buy from the airport in Israel?

Anything she wants? Standard snack foods you'd find in a gas station or airport anywhere in the world, obviously most of them will be kosher.

I haven't flown in a few years but I remember it being closed at night. She may also be able to buy things in Poland, there's lists for kosher items in Europe.

Usually junk food and cereal aren't included in trios but they do usually give 3 good meals a day, and they may have snacks as well.

definitely some places for snacks open at night,
She should check hechsher of everything before buying.
It will be more expensive than a regular grocery

Her friends will probably share with her.

Tours don't normally provide snacks.

There are kiosks at the airport.
She is a big girl and should know how to deal with the situation.

Stores and restaurants are open very late in Ben Gurion Airport. She should be able to find things, she'll just have to check hecshers.

I think I remember it being quite expensive, but things like elite chocolate was on sale in the airport. Probably stuff like bamba too. Not sure how much snack food aroma has, I remember it being sandwiches/pasta, maybe cakes?

Aroma is not too expensive. You oreder at a self service screen
Across is a kosher fleishig place. But those are sandwhiches, salads and meals. Not snacks.

Bottom line, she's not going to starve on three meals a day without snacks. If she doesn't like the food, she can cope for a few days.

It's Chassam Sofer Petach Tikvah. If she's in a BY seminary it's not an accepted hescher just FYI

There is a little makolet type place in the airport that sells snacks and drinks.
But yes, she will have to check labels because not everything there is kosher.
