Love this thread - love the tip about water - although I can happily drink club soda / tap water (not so much from a water fountain on an aircraft).

On a transpac I look to drink at least two litres, hopefully three of water - along with the "bacardi's" and their ilk. Airlines don't cater that much water for a PAX, even if in First, so I have developed various post Security strategies - the main one being bringing a couple of empty bottles with me an topping up in the lounge.

Of course, I would suggest that if you requested a couple of Quarts of water before a flight it would happen.

Makes aisle access seats essential though ...
