Vaping on in airliner lav?

[Domenick]

I am not a smoker nor vapid, though I do enjoy an occasional fine cigar.

Do airliner lavatory smoke detectors respond to vaping vapors?

 

[Zeldman]

No, but the cameras installed in the toilet by a flight attendant might...

I was in Sea-Tac yesterday and watched two firemen waiting for an occupant to open a family toilet room door so they could respond to a hazard alarm. It turned out to be a janitor who was vaping. I’d bet the detector would pick it up on a plane, too.

Yep has happened a few times to me in flight. Pax just gets a admonition not to do it again.

Yes. Happened to me a few years ago while we were boarding. Another flight, some guy was vaping in his seat mid flight. That was fun.

Suspect that was entirely intentional.

That is up to the Capt. I chat with them to see how cooperative they are before deciding their fate.

People never cease to amaze how stupid and self centered they are.

Didn’t learn the first time, huh?

Need to start tossing people off the plane (or cruise ship or out of the place) when this happens.

No rebooking, no refund.

Yes, it was a pun.

Yes, it was a pun.

I figured being a writer your word smithing skills wouldn‘t allow that to be a mistake that would go unnoticed.

 

[Domenick]

it was a stretch, but "vapider" didn't cut it.

No rebooking, no refund.

Rules without enforcement are just random letters on a piece of scrap paper.

Did you mean wordsmithing?

Then why would you want to waste the moment when sitting in an aluminum tube going 400 plus knots at an altitude of 35K feet with 100 plus others?

Having a fine cigar in an airliner lavatory... seriously?
