I can't remember when smoking was banned on CAT flights but it's a good many years ago for sure. (Is there anywhere in the world it is still permitted?)
That being said why do new aircraft still feature 'no smoking' signs, OK perhaps they are there as a reminder for anyone who does not pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefing, but I would have thought that pretty much everyone knows that there's no smoking on aircraft.
But why are new aircraft still equipped with ashtrays? I've just used the 'facilities' on an Emirates A380 (it's less than 3 years old) and noticed that it is equipped with ashtrays in the toliets ... just wondering if anyone can suggest why?
Enjoying the provision of free (up to a limit) inflight wifi for the laptop, its weird tracking one's own flight on FR24.
