Well, on a 2 hours flight you have to add at least 1 hour pre flight and 30 mins after flight. So, at the very least you end up 3h30' without a drop of water. You are probably not going to die, but this is definitely not healthy. Please also remember that, water (more than 100ml) cannot be brought through security.

So the new policy means that you have to pay horrendous airport or plane prices for basic human right, the access to drinkable water!

Meanwhile, I have no issue with BoB for food and alcoholic beverages.
