I didn’t even know Spirit had 10-hour flights. That’s horrifying.

Indeed Spirit is well known as one of the worst, bargain-basement airlines. It’s the one that comes to mind as “the worst airline in the world.”

Jet Blue is the other one. I would never fly either unless I was absolutely forced to. I’d probably still try to take a train if it took a week.

Almost identical actually, 454 for the ANA flight and 492 for the Spirit.

ANA is only one leg of this flight, and i flew a longer distance on spirit.

But for those two legs I'm comparing, and the distance flown for each relative to the entire flight, it's almost the exact same price.

It must have been a new policy, I haven't experienced it with them before either and the flight attendants were complaining about it all three flights.

It's difficult for me to believe it is legal, it must somehow be illegal at least in some countries to deny water to passengers.

I don't think this was a week long trip

Yea, I'm so glad to be back in asia right now.

I had a great flight, and being in narita again honestly made me want to charge my plans and stay in Japan.

Thanks, it was last month and actually 7 hours from lima to florida, i must have remembered it longer.

This ANA flight was 9 hours, hawaii to tokyo.

It was difficult to believe at first, but three flights with spirit made it real clear.

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.
