Similar flight duration, opposite customer care policies.
The sapporo is blocking the soba noodle dish, which was rrrreal good with the provided soba noodle sauce.
Spirit made all passengers empty their water bottles before getting on the plane and if you wanted water during the 7 hour flight you were required to purchase it from them.
First airline I’ve ever used that prohibited water. Big thumbs down. Seems insane, tbh.
I have encountered flights in other countries where the airport security doesn’t require passengers to dump water while going through security. When flying to the US, they would inspect your bags on the jetbridge looking for fluids since security didn’t do it already. I’m guessing that was the scenario. It was also very easy to sneak water past as it was a manual check and not very thorough.
