Actually this is very standard in Estonia
You *always* get water with berries, fruits, even flowers-petals
I don't find this cheap at all

(and way better than all the plastic crap all the time)
It is much cheaper than bottled water. And with all due respect to Estonia, but this is a premium lounge in Brussels, not Estonia. people drink bottled water in Belgium, or let’s say that it is common to drink bottled water. Removing bottled water is just a sign of cutting costs in a very evident and cheap way.

Concerning plastic crap, they can easily replace with glass
Bottled water if they are concerned about the en it
Money. But they did not think of plastic, trust me.. they think that they found a brilliant way to cut costs. But they are stupid as this will backfire and they will eventually return the bottled water.

I meant cheap like style
I find a design glass bottle with fruits and petals floating in it much more stylish and personal than a plastic bottle.
But OK, we're not going to agree on this I feel

And I don't really think people will change lounges because of the water

I agree, it is not cheap in style. But not everyone likes that kind of water. They can offer whatever they like, but they can not eliminate bottled water. Some people only drink sparking water for instance.. we are not talking about champagne versus cava. It is simple and basic water.

Water fountains (sparkling, still, cold, room temperature) are the way to go.
Unfortunately everything which is bottled gets stolen.

Tap water is very drinkable in Belgium and it’s better for the environment.
I think it’s better What they have now, compared to bottled water.

Absolutely. It's still a problem that is not a problem!

It is a premium lounge! People using that lounge pay good money to fly SN and partners. And to imply that people steal bottled water? Rubbish! It is only to save money.
BTW more ecological to take the train..

That s an option, and it is ecological.. they can keep their flavoured tap water.. but they can not eliminate bottled water, Specially that one can t bring their own past security.

IMO this could have gone a lot worse!

You're saying "nobody noticed" while giving yourself a link to an article on this site's home page!? :?

Anyway, if the fuel contamination is confirmed, it should be cause for big concern!

Btw, the incident was reported in the "Anomalies..." topic as well.
You can keep on discussing about tap water or bottled water, but OO-SFU is still on the ground after the engine failure(s) 4 days ago.

Did SN cancel the start of the Wroclaw route?
Can't seem to find a plane on their booking engine...

(I know it's engine failure, according to members' posts, but why is the problem still not solved after eight days ?)

If it’s fuel contamination there is a lot of cleaning to do: tanks, pumps, filters, tubes, pipes...
According to Airbus a flame out is often caused by contaminated fuel and a landing at the nearest suitable airport should be considered.

I seem to recall it’s in LJU for a C-check?
And if I remember it correctly, it won’t return sporting the Tintin colour scheme, but it will return in SN colours.
