LBA does offer this option either at any of the drinks concessions if you queue and ask, and I have been told the last time I filled up at the bar by the SA area, that now facilities to fill up empty bottles in the toilet areas (not seen by me, but may have missed). We always take empty bottles and fill, and never had an issue to refill at any bar..I imagine Jet2 would be more than willing to provide some Jet2 branded kids play toys. I'm not too sure the airport would be so keen to give up some premium space to offer that type of facility though?
On another note, I see Manchester airport has joined Birmingham airport on a water bottle refill scheme. The scheme allows departing passengers to refill their water bottles after they have passed the security process.
I don't think it will be long before LBA and other airports are forced to follow suit given the amount of waste produced by the confiscation of full bottles at the CSZ. LBA will be reluctant to offer free drinking water as the sales of water through the airport retail outlets will be substantial.
The airport would be foolish to promote plastic bottle use as passengers are in trouble with their carbon footprint and airports need a positive message.
