Air is Free; Water is Expensive
by Madelyn Miller
We all know how important it is to stay hydrated while traveling, but have you seen the price of bottled water at the airport?
A cheaper alternative for quenching your thirst is the Brita Fill & Go. The Fill & Go is a durable, plastic "sports" bottle with a drop-in, replaceable, activated carbon filter and a push-pull spout. Simply fill directly from the tap and you get 20 ounces of great tasting water on demand, at a fraction of the cost of bottled water at some of the nation's major airports.
In fact, you could save enough to buy a ticket if you are a big water drinker.
For example:
- New York LaGuardia Airport 16-ounce bottled water $1.75
- Los Angeles Int'l Airport 16-ounce bottled water $2.44
- Chicago O'Hare Int'l Airport 25-ounce bottled water $2.07
- Lambert - St. Louis Int'l Airport 16-ounce bottled water $2.07
Great tasting water from the Fill & Go comes to only about 53 cents a gallon! The Fill & Go has a suggested retail price of $7.99 and includes a filter that can be used for up to 15 gallons of water. Not only cheaper, Brita Fill & Go has been tested and certified by NSF International for chlorine, taste and odor reduction. Many bottled waters aren't certified by anyone.
