Madam, - In the past three years I have travelled via airports in Amsterdam, Belfast, Biarritz, Bournemouth, Brussels, London (Gatwick, Heathrow and Stansted), Mexico City, Milan, New York, Paris, Southampton and Tel Aviv. All provide water fountains in their terminals where passengers can get a drink of water free. The exception is Dublin Airport, where anyone needing water has to buy it in a bottle. - Yours, etc,
