In fairness, you can ask for tap water at the bars and restaurants. I have never been refused, nor asked to pay: I suspect that they are obliged to give water on request.

don't think many people would do this though

Why are people taking water that they know they are going to have to ditch at security, surely you just buy it/fill up an empty bottle once you've gone through?

Tarry

I normally make sure I have just drunk it and than bin it before security.

don't all the bogs at airports have taps over sinks that you could use ?

No, the toilets all have warm water in the taps no cold water, that's part of the problem.

Why on earth not? Bar staff respond as if it were a perfectly ordinary request.

I think I'll ask our Doris to do that.
She'll love asking for half-a-dozen 500ml plastic bottles to be filled up.

ha ha exactly, think you can request free tap water on the plane though if that helps anyone.

I didn't think you could take an empty drinks bottle through to fill up on the other side of security! Showing my airport naivety here but can it just be a normal sports bottle?

I'm flying from Manchester next week and had thought I'd have to pack my bottle in my checked luggage but if I can take my empty gym bottle through it'll save me some money (and effort)
