Yes and no. In many cases, including Australia, you can carry on water that you bought inside the secure area. For instance in Perth they check for water and any other liquids and won't allow more than 100 mL past security. But you can buy bottled water inside the secure area and carry it on board.

Besides, have you ever been on a flight where the flight attendant didn't bring water when asked? -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach Time for tea.

Maybe he believes bottled water is somehow better then regular tap water, or whatever the airline serves... -- Insert something clever here.

Bottled water is probably better than the water from the aircraft's drinking-water tanks, which, while technically safe, tends to sit for long periods and can have a very funny taste. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.

Or else you are provided a lukewarm glass of something close to 4oz (~120ml) of water. To add to the fun, some airlines appear to be operating flights with about half of the FAs who use to serve the flight. Bring on your own bottled water - even if you have to pay the excessive cost of an airport purchase - and you won't have to track down and interrupt an FA. |
