Often, people would also walk up to the ticket stand and buy a ticket with cash on the spot. At that time, fewer people travelled by plane, so there wasn't usually a big line in front of the ticket stand. Edit: You could buy a ticket for a plane leaving in an hour. | Other |

The FDA and IWBA can't find any evidence that age matters to plastic water bottles. The FDA has ruled that there is no limit to the shelf life of bottled water, and no company has even insinuated that the expiration is related to the plastic.
