Steipler was makpid that food that ppl brought to him from chu"l, he would inquire if they slept over it on the plane.

But...
1. I cannot verify
2. Maybe just a chumra

I don't remember the details but I remember being told as a bochur to be machmir about something left under a regular airplane seat on an overnight flight.

didn't ask any Chabad Rabbonim but I would guess Chabad follows the opinion of the GR"A in this case.

Indeed, there are opinions both ways. Some people will be more "meikel" in flights, or when it's "hefsed merube" or when it's closed container, etc.

And when it's all three?

Whatever the case, this issue of food under a bed should not at all be taken lightly. I recall once being by a shiur where the rav discussed the shailah of being yotzei mitzvas lulav when the esrog was under a bed where someone slept. I don't remember the conclusion halacha l'maisah but at least I learned from there that these things can get really strict, and many times over we can be looking for a heter to eat a stupid sandwich etc. when it's not even worthwhile.

What bracha on 50% grape juice 50% water?
How about 45 GJ 55 water?

Hagafen. I believe you can make ahagafen until 5 to 1 ratio

ETA:
Per berachot.org(don't know if it's reliable)

Quote

A29) In general, Sefardim allow one to dilute wine or grape juice up to 50% before it loses its Hagefen bracha. Ashkenazim allow even more, up to 5 parts water with one part wine or grape juice. That being said, there are two other qualifications: First, it must still taste like wine or grape juice (and not just a grape flavored drink). Second, it must be within common standards of dilution. Meaning, people would still consider it as wine.

Remember that whatever water you add is AFTER the factory added water too.

That it's not from concentrate. But they somehow still have ways to add water and trick you with that label.
