Given so many do's and dont's at airports these days, air travel has become more complicated. For example, no liquids can be carried onto a plane that were brought from outside the airport. If you have a cup of coffee or a bottle of water on the way to the airport, you must consume it in its' entirety prior to going through security.
Airports have seen the benefit to them in this liquid ban. Prices of items in airports typically are higher than elsewhere. Liquids are now priced higher than ever before.
There is a work around (for water at least). I travel with an empty water bottle. Airports are now equipped with water bottle filling stations. Eureka!
In selecting a water bottle, I choose one that can be squished and then will take the original form. This way it fits in my purse or 'personal item' without taking up a lot of room.
Once I'm on board the plane, I place the water bottle in the seat pocket in front of me.
I'm reusing water bottles and saving money on bottles of water at the airport. This is a budget friendly solution along with a green solution!
