My last post didn't quite get a definitive Yes there is, hence my Q again - we didn't travel in June, as my eldest son broke his Knee cap, so we rescheduled for tomorrow .... Cheers

As far as I am aware there is still one there - why not tweet the airport to ask? and you've left it seriously late to ask!

Why not just buy a bottle of water from boots? a 1.5 litre is under £2.

You can ask any bar or cafe for 'tap water' - they will give it to you. If you have issues go to the information desk and they will make sure you get a cup.

Yes they do just after security, but it was out of order last time in June !

Nice.

To be fair, the most money saving option would be not to fly and to stay as far away from airports as possible.

Actually the water from the fountain is warm and has a nasty chemical taste. I'd personally rather spend the £1.50; and to ask less than 24 hours before you fly is not the best idea on a forum.

It is usually out of order as well - if £1.50 is out of one's budget then one might need to re-evluate the need to fly where liquids are restricted.

And as an aside, £1.50 for a good 1.5 or 2 liter bottle airside is cheap when compared to the £2 charge for a 500ml on board an aircraft, so it is very moneysaving, just a matter of perspective.
