What bottled water is offered in CX lounges?
Will be travelling with a 10 month old baby nephew and the mom (my sis-in-law) would only use distilled water for his milk (don't want to argue with her on this). So does the CX (or QF, or maybe PPL) lounges offer distilled bottled water? Or does any of the restaurants or convenience stores inside the airport sell distilled water?

Bonaqua.

QF lounge has filtered (Brita) water.

I would assume that somewhere at the airport sells Watsons (distilled) water, but I can't be certain.

First class lounge is now giving out Acqua Panna.

Convenience store (airside) sells Watson's distilled water.

At the HKG CX lounges, if you don't find small 500ml bottles at the drinks section, ask the bar. They usually have 500ml Bonaqua bottles stashed there.

In the worst case she could always try using what nature provided for her!

Bonaqua is bottled in China. Watsons in HK.

That alone might influence your decision.

Bonaqua is filtered too (is it allowed to post these kind of reference: http://www.bonaqua.com.hk/bwoV2/webui/about/about.aspx). PPL (near 40) has Bonaqua. It shouldn't be hard to buy bottles of water (can't remember distilled or not) around the hall at HK$20-25 (~US$3) from book shops or coffee shops. However they will not be warm.

Actually if your sister-in-law only needs an unopened bottle of water to feel comfortable, what brand is it really doesn't matter... You can always find bottled water after the immigration...

Just make sure you are not going US or Australia as they do second check and will ask you to drop all 100mL+ liquid

Will this be permanent? I was surprised last June when I was handed a bottle of Acqua Panna.

Bonaquas sold in HK are bottled in Shatin, Hong Kong. FWIW, Bonaqua is not distilled water - it's mineralized water. Watson's water is truly distilled.

Bonaqua is not distilled. Its tap water that has been further cleaned.

Neither is Evian/Aqua Panna, although i would say with regards to Italian spring water if its good enough for the space station it should be good enough for your nephew

Watsons is the only distilled water i know of in HK, i think its the green one that has nothing re-added to it.
