Does anyone know if there is a water fountain for public use. My friend said she always takes an empty bottle when she flies from Manchester airport cos there is a water fountain to use.

Thanks

    There used to be one in departures at EMA but it hasn't been there for some years, unless I have missed it.
    If you go down to the woods today you better not go alone.

    Never mind just thought it was worth an ask. My son only drinks squash and I have one of those conc bottles that I dilute with water. I would rather buy a beer or a coke but I buy water for him. Just be easier if I could just get a bit of tap water.

    I usually ask a staff member at a cafe to fill up my water bottle when I'm at the airport. It has never been a problem.

    Presumably water comes out of the taps in the loos?

    missbiggles1..........It's just hot water in the loos now at airports.
    I used to ask for tap water at the food places at LGW but now they do have fountains, if you know where to look, they do hide them.

    Really - I didn't know that.:o

    Presumably it goes cold though - the OP wants to take it on a flight, not drink it there and then.
