Bringing Bottled Water on Board
Is it stll allowed to buy bottled water after we clear security to bring on board the flight?
Can i really trust that water they serve on board from large bottles that it is just tap water or recyled?

You can buy water after clearing security. I've seen flight attendants open the sealed water bottles so I think you can trust that it's bottled water. That does not mean that the water is from a spring. It only means that it was bottled in a water bottling plant.
What do you mean by recycled water? Recycled from where? I can't imagine what you mean.

I'm with Gretchen. I always bring an empty Nalgene bottle or similar and just fill it up at a water fountain. Way cheaper (and eco-friendly) than buying bottled water at the airport. But yes, the water they serve you on the plane is bottled, or at least has been on every flight I've taken.

I'm with Gretchen and Jent. I bring an empty re-used bottle through security, then fill it from a water fountain.
In case anyone wonders, yes, I'm a tight-wad all year long and that is how I afford my trips. $3 here, $5 there, it all adds up.

I think what the poster meant by recycled water is that they fill a tank in the plane with water. According to reports it isn't usually cleaned well and can carry bacteria. Many airlines are now using bottled water but unless you are sure, bring it on.

Last March, while leaving Dubai, I had my empty water bottle confiscated during the last security check...but they were conficasting everything under the sun: camera batteries, nearly empty toothpaste tubes, sunscreen, etc. Generally have no problem filling my empty bottle at a post-security water fountain -- a number of US brands of bottled water are nothing more than purified tap water anyway.
