On what grounds? Somebody searched your bag for water before boarding?

I've had this happen to me in SIN, KUL and DXB. Some airports either do all their security scanning at the gate (e.g. SIN, and some gates at KUL) or do additional searches at the gates for certain flights, which happened to me a number of times at DXB. |

As I have said I would never expect not to be able to get water on board (apart from perhaps if you are sat on the ground for some reason for hours) and therefore would not consider it anyone's responsibility to buy water before boarding in the expectation of no water being on board. having said that I repeat I do not even take this report at face value
Will be interesting to see what the outcome of this is |
what injury would be caused to your ankle ig no water. Stupid.
How wonderful that it only caused her issues AFTER her holiday . |

Di Falco said she asked repeatedly for water after boarding the 15 March flight but only received one glass with her meal more than an hour after the plane took off. |

Good thing you read the report then. This thread is old and no idea why it's now becoming active again.

Flights at DXB to Australia have water removed before boarding (additional security). Has happened to me both times I have flown there in the last two years.

Fresh off the press: Passenger’s lawsuit fails at Victoria’s Surpreme Court.
I cannot post the link to the article in The Age so here the full version: [link added by mod - partial quote of article] A thirsty traveller has lost a legal case against Emirates airline, after claiming she collapsed on a long-haul flight as a result of being denied enough water. Lina Di Falco, 54, now faces potential costs running into hundreds of thousands of dollars after failing to get compensation from the airline giant. Ms Di Falco sued the airline for damages in the Victorian Supreme Court, claiming the denial of adequate water caused her to faint and fall, hurting her ankle on the March 2015 flight from Melbourne to Dubai. The mother told the trial the injury caused her constant pain, forced her to take two months off work, deprived her of doing the things she loved and led to her marriage breakdown. Justice Jacinta Forbes on Tuesday found Emirates had no liability. She invited the parties to make submissions on costs. Barrister John Ribbands, representing Emirates, is also seeking special costs, given an offer made to Ms Di Falco to resolve the case early was rejected. Ms Di Falco, who was not in court for the judgment, told the trial she had constant ankle pain after falling on the way to the bathroom...... |
Not that it adds much but i’ll put the link in case anyone wants to (?!) look at photos or related coverage etc
https://www.theage.com.au/national/v...15-p530t3.html i do feel a little bit bad for her as she has clearly been badly advised. However my suspicion is that fundamentally a unhappy turn of events has befallen her and she needed someone to blame. Hopefully now she can make peace with things |
Good to see some common sense ^
