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.
Tell me about it! I'm 6'4"...I cannot stand having to deal with the cramped seats....especially when the person in front of me leans their seat back...it becomes almost impossible for me to sit. I'm just glad my work usually send me at least business, and occassionally first class. I don't shell out for it for personal, though, so I have to suffer.
Also, I definately would fly a smoking airline! Most of my flights are overseas...and me without my nic-fix is not a pretty sight.
"I avoid plane flight because I cant afford first class and refuse to be contorted."
If you can't cough up the extra bucks to fly in business class, then you probably can't afford the $500+/day cost of Hawaii.
I'm with you on that. An airline could make the seating room about 50% larger (about the way you describe) and charge 50% more per ticket. I would gladly pay that. And the airline would come out ahead with fuel and incidental savings. Oh well, I don't own an airline so it wil probably never happen.
