Similar flight duration, opposite customer care policies.

The sapporo is blocking the soba noodle dish, which was rrrreal good with the provided soba noodle sauce.

Spirit made all passengers empty their water bottles before getting on the plane and if you wanted water during the 7 hour flight you were required to purchase it from them.

First airline I’ve ever used that prohibited water. Big thumbs down. Seems insane, tbh.

    I can understand why Spirit asks passengers to empty their water bottles. It could be for safety reasons. But I don’t understand why Spirit doesn’t supply water. Are they craaazy?

      Behold the American brainwashed into believing water can be a threat and that this is not anything besides an excuse to sell you 500ml of water bottled from public springs for $9

      That is possible and very gracious of you. I can’t imagine what threat spirit is seeing from water that no other airline is. Occam is pointing to profit without decency.

      Not providing water does seem craaazy, especially on a 10-hour flight. They had to give free water to a woman seated behind me who had some medical condition and the flight assistants were all muttering to each other about how the water ban was crazy.

      Hopefully dehydration doesn’t stick as a policy.

      Could you explain, in great detail, what sort of threat you believe water presents? If it were a threat, why did they provide it on the other side of security? Because you don’t get to walk through security with liquids, so that’s municipal water provided by the airport water/drink fountains or bottled water purchased at the airport for already extortionate prices that they’re pouring out, not home brewed nitroglycerin.

        I believe the reasoning is some clear liquids are volatile and/or flammable, but it’s still rubbish.
