Gladys Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Where were you flying to, Australia? Flybe is a cheap airline, everything is an add on. Can't say I am happy with it, but it is all we have and you would have picked up that when booking (check in, bags, seat reservation, etc all as an extra). Why were Flybe responsible for you having to run round panic buying presents for your son? Didn't you know why you were travelling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilf_uk Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I actually do feel for him. £2 for water is a joke. I know everything is an add on etc etc but you should be able to get a glass (or small plastic cup) of water at no charge. I wonder if it's legal? I believe that licensed premises must provide water foc. I wonder how it works in the sky. anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Perhaps they don't carry potable water except in bottles for sale, evenm so how long are you onthe plane, no flight is longer than about an hour. I am not sympathetic as you know the score when you travel with these airlines. The panic buying of presents which seems to worsen Flybe's performance in all this (?) just sums it up; ill-prepared and unable to take responsibility for himself.

I believe that licensed premises must provide water foc. I wonder how it works in the sky. anyone? Just guessing, but I'd think that it's much the same as ferries - once out of Manx airspace, then no longer under licensing regs. In one sense I can understand this from the airline's view. Carrying water is heavy. 50 kgs extra weight requires extra fuel (maybe as much as 30kgs aviation fuel), and perhaps one less fare paying passenger. In one respect it is a sensible way of reducing fuel costs, carbon emissions, and cost to passenger. Ideally passengers might bring their own water for their needs, and aircraft only has what is needed for medical emergencies. I'd hardly think it worth the bother of getting into legal issues - duty of care, reasonable expectation of being provided with water on a flight, fair trading and unnotified change of what is included in ticket etc. However I do think if an airline does adopt this policy (and more seem to be doing so for shorthauls), then it should be made clear to passenger beforehand - when buying ticket, at check-in, and that bottled water should be allowed to be taken on board by PAX even if has to be sealed. theman - you could perhaps write to flybe and complain - but if you do so, I'd suggest writing in standard English, otherwise just write it off as un4tune8.
