Airline chow is infamous for being inedible, but one beverage is worse, according to an industry insider.
“Don’t drink the coffee on airplanes. It’s the same potable water that goes through the bathroom system,” an unidentified flight attendant “for a major American airline” revealed to Vice.com.
“We recently had a test for E. coli in our water and it didn’t pass, and then maintenance came on and hit a couple buttons and it passed,” the flight attendant added. “So, avoid any hot water or tea. Bottled and ice is fine, of course.”
That said, sipping bottled water could lead you to use the plane’s bathrooms, which the anonymous stew called “the most disgusting places on the planet.”
“There’s no way these people act this way in their normal lives,” the source added. “But they get on a plane and go, ‘Cool, I’ll just pee all over the floor and dump my peanuts right on the ground.’”

A damn lie.
What about the steak or the fish?
Never order fish
I’ve been drinking coffee on airlines since forever. Never had a related health issue.
Sounds like something made up by a disgruntled airline employee.
The one time in my life I had really serious food poisoning, with high fever and finally antibiotics, was from eating some salmon in business class on a transatlantic flight. I wanted to die.
I had the lasagna.

Even if the water was bad it’s getting boiled. But I doubt whether the water is bad. Coffee on airplanes is usually pretty good.
I got it in first...... (lol)
So, they’re saying Airline Bathrooms are “Sh!tholes”??

Definitely not the fish!
That’s racist.
Might have something to do with boiling water...c
Really?
I was on one of the smaller, but well known airlines ......I love coffee....
..but discovered in the bathroom a pack of the coffee they serve ....on the counter!
Could not figure that one?
Do they make the coffee in the bathroom?
Was it being used as an air freshener?
Whatever
Lol
Isn’t this the same situation as it is in all homes? — The water that’s piped to the kitchen faucet is also used to flush the toilet. Same source, different destination.
