A Greener Way Through Airport Security

That is what I have been doing for almost two years now. Once I get through security, I take out my klean kanteen and fill it at a water fountain. For a frequent traveler it is the best thing. Then when I get on the plane and they come around asking for drink orders, I ask the flight attendant to fill my bottle again. There is no point using a small plastic cup, when they will fill the bottle up for me.
That is a really good idea for the next time I go flying. These new rules are there for a reason but are tough to get used to. The last time I was flying, I had to surrender a few packs of yogurts that were left over during my stay and I wanted to snack on them during the flight. 🙁
Till then,

Great post! I was once “escorted out” with my own water bottle 4 years ago. They made me empty it and then go back in line.
I found it pretty entertaining, and was not the least bit ashamed when I came back through with my empty water bottle in hand ready for a refill 🙂
Thanks for the reminder!
I am so happy to hear that bringing empty water bottles through airport security is a tried and true method! I was a little worried that I might be giving Pays to Live Green readers bad advice, but I’m glad to know that I’m not the only person who’s had luck with this!
I’ve not once purchased a bottle of water. I just can’t pay for something I can have for free.
