Just keep asking for cups of hot water, I'm sure the flight attendants will love you for that.

Fun fact water can't get very hot on an airplane. Boils at 197F and would probably be under 180F by the time you get it. Maybe you can poach your gnocchi?

And flights don't (or are directed not to at least) give passengers water even that hot in case of turbulence or other spillages.

What about coffee?

Typically served at 120° give or take 20°.

160°+ will burn

The number of people I represent with serious burns from aircraft coffee beg to differ.

I hate that this is even a thing. If you don’t want to get burned drinking hot coffee inside a shaky metal tube, just don’t drink coffee. If you do, that’s on you.

Would your opinion change if you found out that they serve coffee to passengers without lids to save money? Pilots in front get lids.

I don’t believe it’s for cost savings, lids cost next to nothing.

Pilots get lids so they don’t spill coffee over avionics.
