PASSENGER ON FLIGHT TO MADEIRA SMOKED IN THE BATHROOM OF THE PLANE

Tobi Hughes·
Madeira News

A passenger on a flight to Madeira yesterday had an unusual moment on board: he smoked in the plane’s bathroom.

The episode occurred after the aircraft failed to land on the regional runway, having started its return towards the capital, from where it had already departed several hours late.

Once on the way back, the traveler ended up going to the bathroom to smoke, an act that, remember, is prohibited on board any plane.

As reported to JM, the situation was, however, immediately detected by the cabin crew, who announced what had happened over the loudspeakers to the other passengers, reminding that not only is tobacco consumption prohibited in all areas of the aircraft, but also that act can be punished with a fine between 1,000 and 4,000 euros.

Let’s hope this idiot (he or she) will be slapped with a fine.

  1. Some people never learn – the airline should bar them from ever flying with them again!

  2. I agree with Tim. Ban them from flying with this airline, what about other airlines.

  4. Having read the story in the Journal, even allowing for translation, we are not told the airline, where the aircraft was flying from, or where it was returning to. As to the paragraph,
    “The episode occurred after the aircraft failed to land on the regional runway, having started its return towards the capital, from where it had already departed several hours late.”
    I give up.

    1. All of that is irrelevant, smoking is banned on all airlines for a good reason, they should be heavily fined and banned.

      1. Yes we know smoking is banned but I’d like a few more facts from the “newspaper” before spouting an opinion.

      The Madeira runaway may be too much and stressful for some people and they get afraid and even with some panic attacks, you never know . ??

      1. Don’t fly then. Do your homework before departing to an island. Excuses, excuses. Was he bullied as a child?

  5. Although those details are irrelevant to the violation but there are people interested in those details. Otherwise, the entire article could have been summed up as the following.

    Someone smoked in the bathroom of an airplane after being diverted from the airport. The passenger could be fined up to €4,000.

  6. Some people will never learn. That stupid individual should have stayed home!

  7. Well smoking isn’t the only problem also the large consumption of alcohol drinks that many times provoke problems between people in the planes this should also be complete banned .

    1. Isabel, on short haul, I don’t bother to buy overpriced drinks and snacks but that’s my choice. I don’t see why the majority of passengers should be prevented from doing so by the activities of a very small, moronic minority. This is down to the aircraft crew.

  8. Smokers are disgusting. Like all addicts they are self obsessed, selfish scum. You only have to look around the island at all the butts they throw everywhere. Imagine being so retarded that you pollute the beautiful island you live on. They only care about themselves. Smoking gives you nothing but death and illness. At least drug addicts get high from their proclivities.

    1. Thats a bit harsh towards smokers? as for the drug addicts in madeira we don’t need any more that’s for sure.

    2. I see the milk of human kindness is overflowing again. Do you drink alcohol, another habit forming pleasure by chance?
