I've just heard about this now. How frustrating! Mind you, if that's the steps they have to take to save hundreds of lives then so be it. I know it makes things a little complicated, but there are other ways around it.
Water shouldn't cost you anything on the flight except for bottled water. It's vital that everybody drinks plenty of fluids on board and so there should be no problem getting free cups of water.No water is a big issue - especially for longer flights - with the cost and availibility of water to buy on the flight. And of course you need water if you want to take medication. I always drink water when flying.
All you can do is jot down all the important numbers on a piece of paper, and use a pay phone if you ever need to contact somebody to let them know you're ok.No mobile phones is an even bigger problem. I usually call/text whoever I am meeting to say if my flight is delayed - but I won't be able to.
That's true - but if you buy a suitcase that has locks fitted to it should be ok. Actually coming to think of it.... what the hell do you do with the keys now????With people having to put all their valuables in the hold there will be a higher risk of theft.
They've been checking hand baggage for years, and if this is the action they need to take then it obviously doesn't work every time. Worrying...I wouldn't mind too much about having to check on hand baggage, if I was allowed to take a book, water and my mobile.
