| Dec 7, 2017 at 7:54 | comment | added | dunni | The IATA best practices guide has only rules about serving alcohol (iata.org/publications/Documents/…). If you're asking about a country specific law, you should specify the country, otherwise it would be too broad. But i can tell you that at least for germany, there is no such law. | |
| Dec 7, 2017 at 7:50 | comment | added | yevgeniy mordovkin | @dunni Sorry, I couldn't find where in the question above I ask for an advice on airline. I just wanted to know, whether there is any law on this subject. | |
| Dec 7, 2017 at 7:47 | comment | added | dunni | You can always book regular carriers, where food and drink is included in the price. With low cost carriers, you have the advantage of low prices with the disadvantage of low service. | |
| Dec 7, 2017 at 7:37 | comment | added | yevgeniy mordovkin | @dunni you are right, and this is what I do usually, but sometimes I forget to pour out the water from bottles, so I don't have anything to fill. And I don't think that paying 2.5 euro for a small water bottle is fair. | |
| Dec 7, 2017 at 7:24 | comment | added | dunni | Additionally it of course depends on the airline that you use. If you use low cost carrier, very often nowadays no food and no drinks are included in the ticket price. So you don't get free water, but you can of course buy any drink you want. | |
| Dec 7, 2017 at 7:22 | comment | added | dunni | "passengers allowed to carry no more than 100 ml of liquids on board" Where does it say this? If you're referring to the limits at the security check, nobody hinders you from bringing an empty bottle through security and filling it up with water after security. In fact, e.g. at US airports you find very often water taps to exactly do that. Otherwise just buy a bottle of water in one of the many shops in the secure area. | |
