I'm glad you started this topic. To top it off, I heard on the news that planes are not necessarilly carryuing extra bottled water for passengers and the water from their taps often does not meet EPA cleanliness standards. I don't understand why they can't sell bottled, sealed, water near the gates (after you've been through the security) so so many people don't need to be uncomfortable.

Let us know how the note for oral balance gel works. I was told they are fine with prescription meds but don't like over the counter ones that are liquid or gel, even with a doc's note.

I'm planning on just not flying for a while until this gets straightened out(sigh).
