I do hope UA will still be able to board the individual Dasani bottles provided to all passengers on INTL flights. Even if they have to be flown in from PDX or whatever. |

Good to know. Perhaps in flight catering is exempt from the airport rules. David |

They should also ban UA from handing out that disgusting Rombauer water that tastes as though it is out of the toilet bowl. Not that I have ever stuck my head in the toilet bowl and tried but the cat has and I am sure he would have said the same. If he was still alive. :). I seem to always manage to fall asleep and wake up with it stuck by the side of me.

I am confused. Googles only shows Rombauer as a wine. |

Yes, I might well have the spelling wrong, and my Google is weak today, but it only seems to be served from LHR (possibly other EU airports too) TATL, and certainly LHR-SFO. It's vile imho.
ETA: It is Rosbacher. I'm guessing it would be environmentally un-friendly if they flew around extra case of water for the return flight.. |

I know what you mean. Local bottled water seems to be the norm on flights to the US, which can be hit or miss depending on the brand.

The funny thing is they tried to start this ban earlier (June 1, 2019), but there was a bit of a hiccup hence it got pushed to August 20, 2019.
As for UA, I am sure you guys have seen them roll out the snack and beverage carts at gate where flights are delayed. They are now using Pathwater instead of the Dasani. Most of the vendor are now selling Pathwater or Voss in Glass (which is major heavy). As was quoted earlier, vendors can still sell water in plastic bottles as long as it is OVER 1 Liter and I have seen some vendors doing that. The big loser with this ordinance is Coca Cola and Fiji as they had a huge presence with many vendors at SFO. |

The airport environment is unique in that passengers are not permitted by regulation to bring their own safe water from home. I've seen people do absolutely disgusting things with the water dispensers at SFO. It's not safe for certain people to drink from those sorts of dispensers, and they are solely dependent upon the availability of water that can be purchased at vendors. This is particularly acute at SFO, where people may be traveling on flights that has them on board for well over 18 hours from gate to gate. For people who have been at SFO since the ban, are large bottles of water still available? Are the aluminum bottles available at all vendors? |
