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?

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.
