Vacuum bottle?
Do you fly with one? Which brand and make? I have thought on this today first, checked a few ones in the store and was like "OMFG heavy" and abandoned the idea. Any lightweight ones?

I take an insulated and non-insulated on trips. I like this Thermos as an insulated bottle. It is great for hot drinks or keeping liquids cold. For a non-insulated bottle I like Camelbak products with a bite valve. The bite valve allows you to drink water through a straw but leak proof.

I find the cheaper-looking Thermos ones are generally the ones that keep things hot the longest!! (although I haven't tried the new very light top-end ones). TKmaxx had some in in the UK very recently.

You can't take any liquids, but just a thermos can be really helpful later, when you do have liquids. I see a lot of people with insulated travel mugs, but a real thermos works much longer--if you fill it with an iced beverage, there will often still be ice several days later.

Obviously, but you can refill past security and also the subsequent days on the trip. You can make sure it's completely dry before going through security to make sure the blue ones don't score a nice Thermos.

Camelbak also has an insulated stainless steel bottle with a bite valve. I've still had ice in mine 24 hours after filling, even on hot road trips. With plane travel, it rides in an exterior pocket. I've had the x-ray scanner ask me if it's empty, but a quick shake satisfies them.

I have 3 Camelbak products. The one I use daily is the 500ml bottle with a bite valve. I also have a plastic insulated Camelbak and the Camelbak with a charcoal filter. Both have bite valves too.

I am vigorously shaking my Camelbak bottle upside down now and it is not leaking. The only problem I have had with Camelbak products was one bottle I purchased it was very difficult to suck the liquid out of. I called Camelbak and they sent me a new lid right away and it works fine since. You may want to call them and tell them your problem.

Good idea though. I'll contact them and see what they say.
