Airplane Tip: Take Your Sigg

I REALLY hate the ban on water when going through airport security. At this point, I'm convinced that it's totally a conspiracy by the airports to sell us overpriced bottles of water. When I fly, I like to have my own supply of water within reach at all times and have begrudgingly settled for overpriced bottles. That is until now....when I thought, why not take my Sigg bottle, empty, and then fill it up at a water fountain after I get through security? Why have I not thought of this until now? My fears of my $20 bottle getting confiscated were allayed when I passed through security without a single question asked by TSA. I just left it empty in my bag and didn't get questioned at all. So, yes people, you can take your SIGG on the plane.

You can find a Sigg bottle at Amazon or check out all of their designs at their site.

Other travelers also report successful results.

I have had much luck using the Platypus collapsible containers. I can compress and roll them up along with a couple of packets of instant Country Time lemonade. Even with those 2 packets, the kit is the size of a king-sized candy bar (Snickers, maybe?).

Highly recommended - you can even freeze/boil them.
