Be interesting to know how they plan to have pax bring their own water bottle on board a flight HKG to Australia, where LAG checks are done on the bridge prior to boarding. Bring an empty bottle and fill-on-board? And then perhaps they can save money on emptying waste tanks by asking pax to take their bottle home "full" too?
