One in my bag and one in my hand. Regardless of which airline I fly with. I can't understand why Ryanair don't stock bottles of water on their planes which they could sell at £1.75 a bottle when ground delays happen. Surprised they miss an opportunity to make a £.

But people should be ready for such a situations, one never know, what can happen and have at least bottle of water with them. And believe me, those crew members sometime get a really big shout from passangers even if it is not them who came with such a policy.

On many occasions we have been grounded for weather reasons, with a full aircraft. After a reasonable time (and the Captain's permission) of about 20-30 minutes we have gone through the cabin offering water or other soft drinks. If a passenger had a child who was hungry, and if something was available, we would never refuse to give them something, Company Policy be damned. The longest delay that I can recall was an hour without returning to the gate, even under the worst conditions. I can only assume Ryan Air is too cheap to have a gate to return to, which would explain why they stayed on the tarmac. Ryan Air should be sued by the passengers whose children became ill.
