Vapour / e-cigarettes

Bonking_Mad

Just curious, are Vapour / e-cigarettes allowed on Thomas Cook long-haul flights?

Browntoa

Not on any flights

Nope - You can carry them on you or in your hand luggage but not use them.

Rules explained in the last section here:

Of course as ecigs only give off vapour and as the hot taps in the toilets also give off vapour there is nothing to stop you having a peaceful vape in the smallest room.

Of course I would never do such a thing myself.......

There are tests that show e cigarettes can set off smoke alarms. Further, contravening crew instructions can be a criminal offence. Your advice is *very* stupid.

Think you need to link to some of these 'tests' so we can see for ourselves.

There's so many people do it though.

At least 3 of my colleagues use the toilets for a quick fix of whatever it is.
Water vapour can set off smoke alarms but I'm yet to see it

I've been Vaping in plane toilets for the last 5 years and never set the alarm off. Putting on hairspray did though. LOL

I suspect the alcohol on his breath after the litre of gin had more to do with it.

Still waiting for the links to the 'tests' you mentioned though
