Warning to plastic bottled water drinkers at SFO, no longer offered for sale 20Aug'19
https://www.wsj.com/articles/what-wi...xt-11566158511
Starting Tuesday, the sale of plastic water bottles will be banned at San Francisco International Airport |
" Starting Tuesday, the sale of plastic water bottles will be banned at San Francisco International Airport, one of the few places they actually make sense. California has many dumb laws and statutes and bans, but this one is especially brainless—spurred by futile self-righteousness. "
|
We travel with foldable, roll-up water bottles.
|
This is a great move and long overdue. Every airport should follow suit.
I can't tell if the "article" is tongue-in-cheek, or if the author actually believes what he's written. |
For those that want to discuss what led to this ban (a city ordinance against plastic water bottles sales on city-own property), please see

What I don't understand is this is water bottles only. So anything else including flavored water is allowed to be sold. Seems like consumers may just buy different options which may be unhealthy. I'm hoping the vendors sell some type of water in another bottle. I don't like to rely on the FAs to keep me hydrated. I also don't want to travel with a container for water.

There are companies selling water in paper cartons similar to milk cartons (though still single-use), and in glass.
This is still the best option. Paying $3 or more for something that it given away for free is a good definition of insanity. |
UA related: what about lounges? Will UA no longer stock water bottles at its SFO facilities?

I have no problem refilling a reusable bottle, but airports need to make sure there are plenty of refill stations available and that the water is actually palatable. I tried this in PHX recently and nearly puked when I took a drink of the water. It was so nasty, I gladly purchased an expensive water.

There a number of user-supplied bottle refill stations at SFO. Such as by the food court area of concourse F and in concourse E Gate 68

Do they sell sparkling water in glass bottles (e.g., San Pellegrino)?
Thanks. GC |

Selling glass bottles at the airport. I can’t think of any bad things happening. |
