A British tourist told the pages of the Daily Star how to avoid paying triple the price for water to greedy airports after passing special control before boarding. Restrictions are well known to Ukrainian tourists, and all because of the ban on carrying more than 100 ml of liquid. And sometimes you can drink as much as you want… At the same time, the price of water at airports, especially after special control, is at least 70-200 hryvnias for a tiny bottle.
What way? Tik-toker IsThatMike03 shared his tip in a video on the social networking site, calling it his “favorite trick for airport travel.” The “trick” is simple – empty bottles can be passed through the inspection because there is no liquid in them. Therefore, he carries a large empty 1.5-liter bottle through security.
And then, having reached the outlets in the “clean” zone, the blogger demonstrated how he approached the barman in a pub and asked him to fill a bottle with tap water. The employee did so, which meant that Mike received an free bottle of water to drink at the airport and on the plane.
“It is necessary to find a creative approach to saving money. Whenever I travel by plane, I like to take an empty bottle with me to go through security. As soon as I find myself on the other side, I find the nearest bar or restaurant and ask to fill the bottle with tap water,” the blogger said.
In the comments, his advice received general approval. He was also reminded that some airports have fountains with drinking water where you can fill a bottle.
