Ryanair passenger orders a cup of ice to avoid paying for water in flight

A Ryanair passenger has divided opinion when she came up with an ingenious idea to avoid buying inflight beverages.

Racheal flew out to Europe on a budget airline and she refused to pay for a bottle of water.

So she thought of a "money-saving trick" to keep herself hydrated without spending money.

"I was thirsty but I didn't want to pay €3 for water," she wrote in the video, which has been seen more than 500,000 times.

Instead, Racheal asked for a cup of ice and she patiently waited for the ice cubes to melt before taking sip from it.

Explaining that it was her humorous take, she added: "No because why does water have to be so expensive?"

The video has sparked discussions in the comments as people insinuated that she was being stingy.

"Maybe don't take a flight if you can't afford €3 for water," one said.

Another fumed: "If you can't afford to pay €3 water, stay at home and save enough to afford everything."

Racheal said she had carried an empty water bottle with her to refill in the airport but she couldn't find any water station after passing the security check.

"I really wanted it but I couldn't wait," she added.

Others, however, did find it as a "genius" hack, with one complaining: "€3 for water is crazy."

"A win is a win, I don't care," a second noted.

And one woman even suggested: "Next time, tell them you are feeling sick. They will give you a bottle of water. Whenever I get plane sick, I ask and I always get one."

Recently a flight attendant revealed one drink she hates to pour in flight and even called it a "nightmare".

Cabin crew, Jet, said: "Soft drinks foam up a lot more when poured out of a can – I literally have to sit and wait for the bubbles to fall before I can continue pouring.

"If all three passengers ask for fizzy drinks, I'll often get them started, take another three drink orders, serve those, and then finish them."
