I usually book "smoking" rooms in hotels because there are so few of those rooms. They are OFTEN (not always) the nicer room, away from the kiddies, with other perks (jacuzzi) and usually quieter.
I don't know about a smokers' flight though. Hack! Hack! Gasp, cough. That would be a tough one.
sounds like a good idea.
"30-a-day cigarette habit"
No way... I'm sure he'd be dead. The government says so!
Go for it, Mr. S.
If you can bring some of the old civility and luxury back into flying, I wish you great success.
In the meantime, I continue to enjoy the Flightfree Lifestyle and am spared airports, demeaning security measures (which I heartily support), and the cattle car atmosphere of airplanes generally.
Capitalism at work. This guy has identified a potential market demand, and he's meeting that demand and, hopefully, will make a profit by doing so. Good for him.
LOL.
Sorry to change the subject, but that happens to be exactly what I want Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to do when we finally get tired of his nonsense and nuke Tehran.
The air in planes changes so fast smoke really isnt a probelm anyway, If they really want to bring comfort to airplane flights , GIVE A GROWN MAN ROOM ENOUGH TO SIT > move the friggin seats back 8 inches and make them 6 inches wider. After a 2 hoiur flight I cant walk from being cramped up in the damned seat. When my wife wanted to go to Hawai I said fine you go. No way will I sit in those damned seats for 12 hours. She went with another lady. I avoid plane flight because I cant afford first class and refuse to be contorted.
Good.
My guess is that the smoker's airline will be up and running just in time to run into a ban on book style matches.... lighters and matches that can be struck anywhere are already prohibited and passengers are not allowed to carry more than four books of normal matches. So how would that work if one could be allowed to smoke as long as there was nothing burning? Perhaps the airline would have a pressurized smoke filled container on board with a hose to every seat that a smoker could draw on whenever he/she felt like it? lol
My arguement from the get go has been property rights and choice.
If you want a smoking place, have it.
You want a non smoking place, have it.
Their response, well the people that work there will not have a choice.. What???
Beat my head into a wall....
McClain Airways from the mid-80's comes to mind...
Great Idea, but it never "took Off", so to say...
"Freedom Airlines" tried this years ago stateside (all flights "chartered" to get around amoking regs.) It went nowhere. I'm a non-smoker, but I would consider flying one of those standby if I can get a good rate.
