Last year, I made a simple system for carrying my water bottles on my packstraps. I didn't want to carry a bladder and this lets me drink without taking my pack off. To drink, snap the bottom cord off, drink, replace. Leave the top cord in place to drink.
This system is made of a few feet of "bungee cord" or "shock cord". You'll have to find a suitable loop or something on the packstraps to attach the cords to. You can use the quick release devices shown or just simple knots.
Advantages:
1. You don't need to bring bottles on the plane.
2. Drink without stopping.
3. Distributes some weight toward the front.
4. Saves space in your pack.
5. Works with any size bottle. 500 ml worked great.
