Looking for trip reports - bottled water
Hello, Are there any post-Aug. 10 trip reports ? Especially about bottled water - are the airlines providing a good supply of it on board or should I "camel up" before boarding ? Thanks. Cedric |

The way I see it, the airlines will confiscate your water and then charge
you three bucks for one of their "approved" bottles that was loaded on the jet by squeeky clean terrorists :-) rg wrote in message oups.com... Hello, Are there any post-Aug. 10 trip reports ?

1. Bring empty bottle(s) with you and fill at airport drinking
fountains Presumably if these are found they will be confiscated at security. 2. Buy bottled water at the airport, even from vending machines. I don't know about every airport, but it's my understanding that water in bottles is no longer available past security. It only comes in cups which may not be brought onto the plane.

This was observed both Friday and Sunday. |

wrote: Are there any post-Aug. 10 trip reports ? I flew from Gatwick on Continental this past Sunday. I usually come to the airport 45 minutes before the flight, but this time I got scared by news reports about huge crowds at Gatwick, and showed up like a moron 3 hours in advance. It was crowded, but not much worse than usual, the whole check-in (through the elite line) and security rigmarole took around 30 minutes. I did have to put my laptop, camera and lenses into checked luggage, though. I thought about declaring excess valuation, but decided not to, and everything arrived intact. Thankfully, secondary screeners at the gate were allowing folks to take newspapers and books into the cabin, even though these were not on the BAA list. Flight attendants were pretty good with passing water around. In Houston, the entire flight was segregated, split into groups and steered to separate immigration booths, separate baggage carousel, and separate customs screening, so it took about an hour to get out. |

I just got into Reno, NV from Houston IAH on CO. All drinks are available inside the secure area, but they are not allowed to be taken through the gates. "Drink up before you board" After boarding, the FA's had the drink carts out & running as soon as the plane leveled out. They made two trips during the four hour flight. A few people went to the rear at other times, and asked for water, soda, etc. No problems. Everyone got what they wanted. Were they "congregating"? |

Many times on a long flight, I go to the back and "shoot the crap" with the FA's. On my last flight, I stood in the back for over an hour, and the FA from FC even brought me some hot cookies. |
