For international flights you can take it along if the water was bought at the airport and its in their special (magical?) bag. It is a bit stupid imo - what prevents a terrorist from buying "allowed" water, then empty the bottle and replacing the liquid with something else?

 

I'm not sure about domestic flights.

He/she had supposedly being checked for explosive substances before entering the international shopping area, thus should not have anything on his/her person to fill the emptied bottle with.

 

You can take water on domestic flights, up to your max bagage weight.

I've never had issues taking my filled water bottle on domestic flights and I haven't read anywhere that it's restricted.

 

For international flights I've had mixed success. I've never tried taking a full bottle (this is definitely prohibited), but I've sometimes been allowed to take an empty bottle which I then fill once I'm through security.

i went through security this morning with an empty bottle in my bag (the one that i got at the argus last weekend) - on other side, realised i'm thirsty, filled the bottle up and no-one said a word about taking it on the plane ... bottle was in my heand when i went through boarding gate, then put it on the outside pocket of the camelbag when i went onto the plane.

Don't buy your own water!

 

You paid for a flippin ticket. As soon as the swanky hostess walks past ask here for TWO bottles of theirs. FOR FREE.

Unless it is Skulula - in which case you have to pay, or SAA, in which case you have to walk to the back, interrupt their IMPORTANT conversation, and ask for two there. You can do it as many times as you like.

 

ENJOY your your "First Flight Ever".

 

If it is an Airbus A380, and the nose hasn't lifted 34 seconds into takeoff, assume the crash position. :D
