    Its quite sad that a habit dictates which route you take to go on holiday!

    Ive not got anything against smoking but when any addiction controls your life its pretty darn lame!

    True it maybe sad but you clearly dont understand the issue then.

    I'll tell you whats even sader though.

    70% of British holiday makers have been no further than Spain

    Addiction is not controlling my life, my life amounts to more than one holiday!!!! But it is influencing the airport I stopover at.

    I am going to Mexico, my son (adult) has a big problem with claustrophobia, he takes valium for flying and we try to brake long journeys up to help him. If I have a choice of airports for roughly the same cost, then yes I pick one that has smoking available. If my family and I don’t have a problem with that, why should anyone else.

    When my children were small I looked for child friendly airports, changing rooms, better seating etc. Does no one else look at stop over airport options? if you are going to spend 6 hours there, its nice to know what facilities they have.
  • I went to Toronto last August (Pearson International).
    When you got through customs, there was a little glass room, which is so small, I nearly missed it. Small & smelly, but heaven for a nervous flyer like myself.

    I was there in 2004 and spent the whole time in there it kept me away from disgusting non smokers with their constant hollier than though droning :)
