Does any airline have smoking sections anymore?
 
I am a smoker (horrors!) and was wondering if there actually are any flights to Europe that allow smoking anymore. Going to France next spring, and I certainly can abstain for the length of the flight and always refrain from smoking near non-smokers. I thought I had heard a few years ago about an airline that had a "smokers" flight to Europe! (I don't think even I would want to take that though!) Just curious....

I´m sorry but I can´t give an help on your question. <BR>I´m here only to give you full support for being only a smoker and not an outlaw or a serial killer, because I suspect that you´re going to get many stupid answers. <BR>If you can´t find that airline, you can always buy some chewing tobbaco or nicotine drops. <BR> <BR>

This is going to turn ugly... <BR> <BR>Before it does, two airlines allow smoking when leaving from the US: <BR> <BR>Aeroflot, but you'd have to go to Moscow first. <BR> <BR>Egyptair, but you'd have to go to Cairo first. <BR> <BR>It has been my experience that some people (even the crew!)get away with it on Iberia and Alitalia. <BR> <BR>On an Iberia trasatlantic flight (last year) I saw that the smoke detector was covered with the stickers used to seal the duty-free cart, and it smelled like tobacco smoke.

Air France had ( not sure if still has) a smokers section in its planes. Passengers can't smoke while seated, they have to go the this smoking section to light up one. ;-) <BR> <BR>Alitalia still have some smoking flights, but mostly to/from Asia, or Mid East. None to/from America, that I know of. <BR> <BR>Surlok
