I pointed out that any germs present on my bottle were being transferred to the larger bottle, then would be transferred onwards to other bottles etc. We have tended to crush our empty bottles ever since, to prevent them being refilled. |
Am I dissapointed that BA don't have enough bottles of water onboard that refilling a used one is a necessity? Yes
Am I in no way offended and actually like the idea of being offered to refill my bottle to help the environment in what is a gesture which will make very little impact to my life? Also Yes. |
At the risk of making myself unpopular in yet another threat - but don't you people think it is slightly odd to be concerned over the number of single use water bottles when most of you burn through more co2 emissions in a month than others do in their lifetime?

I wish I could just trade them my 500mL bottle for one of the big ones that they use for the drink carts. I drink about a gallon of water in an 8 hour day at work, and flights are even drier air (less humidity) than the Arizona desert!

er, please cite the source you used to support such statement (apparently that's how things are done on this forum)
"The humidity in aircraft cabins is low, usually less than 20%" (Source: https://www.who.int/ith/mode_of_travel/chad/en/) "[Cabin air] has a very low relative humidity, typically 5 to 15%" (Source: http://www.aircraftcabinmanagement.c...midity-systems) Average yearly relative humidity (%) Phoenix Daily: 37% Morning 47% Afternoon 23% (Source: https://www.currentresults.com/Weath...ity-annual.php) Oh and for some more humidity data: Phoenix (last chart) London |

But here are some citations to quell your curiosity.
Though is it fair to use the Phoenix data for the Arizona desert? :D |

I ask for my reusable Sigg bottle to be refilled. This bottle has circled the globe many times over the last couple of years. Absolutely no need whatsoever for additional plastic to be consumed. Thanks for the recommendation - i'm on the hunt for a replacement reusable bottle |

Can’t believe it’s a discussion. Of course we shouldn’t be asking for more plastic bottled water. Refills all the way. No questions. |
I don't see any good eason for refilling the bottles - if someone wants another drink, just pour it into a glass - really, there shouldn't be need for any individual bottles - f the airline started serving other drinks in plastic bottles, there would be complaints about the service
