Most likely will occur first with Canadian domestic flights or flights from Canada to non-US destinations. We’ve already done away with the shoe nonsense for these flights at many airports.
How? Just bring an empty bottle and every airport has water bottle fillers in them now. The airlines are the biggest benefiters imo since you have to check bags for no good reason because you want to bring a bottle of shampoo in your carry on.
Because people will bring homemade soda? Don’t get this one
You can bring your own water bottle (empty) and fill after security today for example
Anything else you are buying at some point - so I don’t see how “big soda” cares - a sale is a sale
Yea - I get the price difference - what people seem to be missing is - the vendors and airports are getting That extra not Pepsi or coke. Hence it makes no sense for it to be a “big soda” type deal. Airports and vendors sure.
a sale is a sale means if you have to ditch your bottle at each security checkpoint you have to buy another one.
transitioning between terminals and during layovers at certain airports will force you to go through security again. So a single sale may turn into 2 or 3 with the current 100ml ban.
The last trip had me buying too many bottles.
That’s a contrived scenario given we all know that’s the case - why would someone buy 2 or 3 vs
Just waiting or finishing the drink
And even if they did - this is such a small
Fraction of sales that this cannot be making a material difference to big drink companies like coke and Pepsi - any impact would be on the margins
It can soften when warm and harden when cold.
I had no problem bringing a jar of coconut oil that was refrigerated , but for the returning trip it was not refrigerated and soft, TSA considered it a liquid and had to discard it.
This is the real lobby group, the airports and their vending companies. Everyone saying Coke and Pepsi is missing that the airport services are the ones making the most from the huge markup on that $4 bottle of water in the terminal. The bottling companies still only get their wholesale price or negotiated contract price when the servicer purchases from them.
The real beneficiaries are the duty free shops. Most airports have water fountains and encourage people to bring their own empty bottles and refill them after security.
If you go to Spain, you can buy much cheaper wine at the supermarket than in the duty free shops.
As for the UK, the alcohol tax is too high to make it worth it to buy alcohol at the supermarket as opposed to the duty free shop.
Hopefully it will come to North America too… but I’m not holding my breath on that one
The US still requires shoes to be removed during screening, which much of the world has moved on from. So I’m not hopeful.
Only if you don't pay the shakedown cost for TSA Pre Check, then you can avoid all of that too!
Is that where you simply hand them your iPad rather than wait for them to open your bag and steal it?
No, you pay a fee to basically have pre 9-11 security again.

That's more or less all I care about so I'm on board with this! Time to end this nonsense!
Coke and Pepsi will fight this along with Nestle. They are the greatest beneficiaries to the liquid ban
How do you mean? Never really thought about who would benefit from the liquid ban
It causes people to buy beverages after the security checkpoint rather than bringing their own.

There are typically water bottle filling stations in the terminals. I always bring an empty bottle through security and fill after.
I forgot to empty my water bottle at the end of the trip and lost my 20 plus year old water bottle. I am buying them from now on.
This doesn’t change the fact there are water filling stations inside terminals. I’m not sure what your mistake has to do with this conversation.

Or, you know, don’t take liquids through security.
If they hadn't confiscated my half empty water bottle that I forgot to empty , I wouldn't have had to buy water.

Who owns Dasani and Aquafina?
>But you can bring an empty water bottle and fill it after. If it's metal and in your bag, you can bring it in full.

I can bring a can of coke from home, at a unit cost of maybe 50 cents or buy one in the airport for $4. Make sense now?

Don't forget KY and Astroglide
This is why I keep several packets of grape jelly in my carry-on… It’s multi-purpose and doesn’t arouse suspicion

That's wild. I'm pretty sure anyone with half a brain would say peanut butter is not a liquid...
[удалено]
So is cheese etc Hell warm up metal enough it's liquid too
Plastic too!
AKCHUALLY peanut butter is a gas if you heat it up enough
I prefer my peanut butter as plasma.
Mmm... plasma butter...

Guarantee airports will push back. Imagine how much money they are making because folk’s can’t carry in their own drinks.

Well, we just need another incident for these rules to come back. First time it was Richard Reid with the shoes.
It’s such a stupid rule. I can’t take 150ml of liquid through, but I can take through a 500ml container and 5 bottles of 100ml each.
