British airways have introduced a controversial change in drinks during the flight as part of a sustainability study.

Economy passengers travel from LondonS Heathrow Airport to three major American cities, Miami, Boston and Los Angeleswill no longer be provided with bottles of water while they are on board.

Instead, those who travel on the selected routes are served paper cups with water in an attempt to ‘reduce plastic waste’.

The change has no influence on BA’s club world and the first class passengers.

On one Flyertalk Forum, a passenger traveling from Miami to the Heathrow in London, was very critical about the new test and described it as a ‘cost -saving exercise under the guise of saving the polar bears’.

They stated that they were ‘not a happy camper’ added: ‘The only thing I asked was a bottle of water and the reaction surprised me. I thought I had heard it all. Clearly not.

‘I was told that there were no bottles of water they could give me, because BA did not offer the tasting of bottles of water. Unbelievable ‘.

British Airways confirmed that she manages the one -week -old one -week trial from 16 June to 22 June that reduces a plastic plastic for one -time use.

Starters were completely stripped of the menu, while the choice of head jobs and deserts had also been considerably scaled back.

He added: ‘Only because I fly from Miami after 9 p.m. does not mean I want to sleep.
