    Its a new thing to provide free water bottle top up stations or "taps" as we used to call them. this thread is for stations after security. so dont throw out that empty water bottle

    Gatwick south is upstairs on the corridor to the toilets beside the bar/starbucks ...

    its one of those ones for filling bottles, not just a bend-the-head-to-drink.

    Feel free to add others

    Dublin has at least two taps straight after security.

    I had no issue bringing an empty (cap removed) litre bottle through security, then filling it at the tap.

    Is there any chance they'll ever get rid of these silly liquid rules? Initially they were supposed to expire but then every time just before it did there was a so called terrorist "attempt" maybe perhaps involving liquids.

    Even if they are now supplying free water airport shops must benefit hugely from these rules

    There actually is a website about this, https://wateratairports.com/ . The website itself is a disgrace, but the information is better than nothing.

    You will find hydration stations in the corridors leading to the toilets in Terminal 1.

    Dublin ones never seem to work, or maybe it’s just me

    Most toilets in CPH have a separate sink for drinking water.

    They also have a Scandinavian food shop that sells water for 10kr (€1.30) if you exit duty free to the right instead of 25kr everywhere else.

    Amsterdam has the new style scanners, so you can bring bottles of drinks through security without having to remove them from your bags.

    When I last went through their on New Years day they were also starting to sell 500ml water bottles for 1 Euro at some of the shops.

    Oslo Airport
    If you bring an empty water bottle through security and want to fill it with water, you can do this in several places in the terminal. Immediately after the security there is a two drink stations. In the Domestic part of the terminal, you can refill your water bottle by gate A10, B2 and C4. On International flights you can refill bottles at the gate D4 and E12. In the Non-Schengen area there is a drink station between gate F17 and F19.

    All filling stations are marked with signs.

    The 100ml limit still applies, it's not up to individual airports.

    The entire liquid ban thing is absurd anyway, a redundant regulation that only serves to increase the revenue of after security shops.

    Not in my experience, and I have been through AMS 3 times in the last 2 months. There were even Service reps advising everyone that you did not have to empty or get rid of your bottles. We had 2 500ml bottles of Juice with us, and no problem at all to get them through. Not a question asked.
