Does AirAsia passively condone smoking on its flights? I've experienced cigarette smoke on at least 3 AirAsia flights including my recent flight Friday from Johor Bharu to Kota Kinabalu and on Sunday from Kota Kinabalu to Johor Bharu.

I reported the problem to the flight attendants in all three flights as soon as I smelled the cig smoke in the cabin and each acted as if they were investigating the problem by going and sniffing around the bathroom where the passenger presumably smoked but then they didn't take any further action such as making an additional announcement to remind passengers not to smoke in flight and didn't make an effort to alert the Captain. It is dangerous and unhealthy for other passengers for there to be open flames and bad air on the flight. Why is it tacitly condoned by flight crew? (read more...)
