The ban, which went into effect on Tuesday, August 20, requires travelers to bring or buy a reusable water bottle to fill around the airport.
Passengers can bring reusable water bottles — or buy one at the airport — and fill them at"hydration stations" located beyond the security checkpoint.
Other drinks, like flavored water, juice, and soda, can still be sold in plastic bottles. Regular water can also be sold in other containers, like glass bottles or aluminum cans.Starting on Tuesday, travelers through San Francisco International Airport had to plan to cut a major part of the pre-flight routine: buying a big water bottle to stay hydrated during the flight.
That's because as of August 20, San Francisco Airport banned the sale of single-use plastic water bottles, the first known rule of its kind at a major US airport. The ban, which applies to all vendors in all areas of the airport, applies to any size disposable bottle of water, though makes exceptions for flavored water and seltzer, along with other beverages like juice and soda.
Instead, the airport is offering more than 100"hydration stations" where travelers can fill reusable water bottles before their flights — after they've gone through security. Shops at the airport will sell reusable water bottles for travelers who don't have them.
