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

    If you don't find joy in the snow,
    remember you'll have less joy in your life

    ...but still have the same amount of snow!

    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
    Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

    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
