For those who have flown today...

[HackyMcHack]

Now that Big Brother won't let you take your water/Starbucks/adult beverage aboard, are airlines still providing drinks once in the air?

Can't seem to find a definite answer ... and I've got a flight planned in a few days ???

I'm thinking in a year or two, everyone who flies will have to do so in the nude, with nothing in their hands, their luggage flown on a separate aircraft, and they all have to have a BCS before boarding.

Plus a barium enema ...

EVERYONE knows the BCS doesn't work... sorry wrong topic

I just KNEW someone was going to make that joke. Not surpringly, it was you 77.

Nah, that would mean having dentists at the security checkpoints. too expensive.

You should read the FlyerTalk forums on this. Every possible joke has been made.

But to answer the OP, my mom just called from her flight. Yes, they're serving on domestic planes, but no more than usual.

Heard on the news that you can't take drinks, etc. through security. Once in the terminal, you can buy water, coffee, drinks and take them on the plane.

In a related story, the price of coffee at airports went up to $9.95 a cup.

Flyertalk forum says that differs from airport to airport.

What happened today that would affect flights? [/d_b]

i just spoke to a buddy of mine who is travelling internationally out of pearson in toronto.

he said it was the easiest travel day hes ever seen. an elite level flyer, there was no one in his line and his security lineup was short. there were signs coming into the airport warning people about liquids & gels, and everyone seemed to listen.

hes a guy who is never early, showed up more than three hours before his flight and is now bored out of his skull in the lounge.

If what is being reported is correct you can't even take reading materials on flights out of the UK today. How much would it suck to get on a transatlantic flight knowing the only thing you'll have to read for the next 7-8 hours is a copy of American's in-flight magazine?

Sock Puppet:  Once thru security you can buy drinks but you have to consume them in the terminal.  They won't let you on the plane with the drinks.


Many European airports (London for sure and several others) are on a higher state of alert than US airports at the moment.  So, boarding requirements and security checks at those airports will be more stringent than the ones at most US airports.
