Toilet will be free, but I guess they will charge you the water to flush it.

This is part on and off topic but ice can actually be very expensive. Some contract stations charge by the bag and I know that YUL and I believe that CHS charge around $50 a bag and thats not an exageration. LGS (owned by Lufthansa) charges anywhere from $10 to $30 per bag... Wouldn't suprise me if they charged for the ice if it is ordered separate...

With prices so high for a bag of ice, will ice cubes be allowed through security? Will ice be priced at a price per bag divided by the number of people who purchase a drink?
Also, wouldn't it make more sense to better negotiate (get ice in another station)? $50.00 for a bag of ice....... I am in the wrong business.

Maybe they are gearing up for coin-operated lavs: Price the coffee at a "discount," offer free refills......and then when the pax bladders fill up, they will have no choice but to pony up in order to relieve themselves.

Why not just on-board ice-makers? I know the extra weight is a consideration, but who cares if they make money!
