Vape/Analog Friendly Airports

[PTJD]

I was there last February and can confirm, no analogs allowed. Same with Kona airport, which is completely outside.

Just got back home, yep all that 2 car wide outdoor concourse is Non Vaping/Analog now. However since they don't let you know I saw many people light up when we arrived and while walking towards arrival/baggage area.

Also went to Kona and you sir are correct, the airport is basically a mini Hawaiian village with shops, bars etc... surrounding a(large) open courtyard where you wait to board ( no jetways you walk outside to the planes), so I asked where we can smoke? Outside security, walk across 4 lane road and your fine!!

(SJO) San José, Costa Rica - they have lounge downstairs you have to pay a minimal consumption I think it´s about $10.
I haven't vaped there yet.

Just got back from LA and vaped all the way there and back. I had no problem in Indy or LAX with either taking my ecig through security or in checked bag. (Yes I stashed some in both just in case) I vaped in both airport terminal waiting areas and noone said a word. I flew Northwest and sitting in the rear of the plane had no problem vaping in restroom or seat. But I was VERY discreet and sitting by the window.

Great trip - Thanks to my e-cigs

SKP (Skopje) - smoking area in lounge (check-in area), no smoking past security

PRN (Pristina) - smoking room in gate area

ATL (Atlanta Hartsfield) - smoking room in international concourse (north terminal, I think?)

Guess I'll have to switch to Southwest. American has it posted on their website that e-cigarettes cannot be used on the aircraft because it interferes with their navigation system. What a bunch of bunk!

i work on Military radar/radio nav/com systems... there is now way possible it could interfere. or all batteries would be banned on planes!

I have now experienced the 'cage' at East Midlands. It wasn't so bad at all - it's a covered area, lets the sun in and the air through, and is massive. Miles better than the grotty rooms at Nashville and Vancouver of yesteryear (I'm sure both are gone now!).

I bet loads of airports could open up similar outdoor areas after security. They'd make tons more cash from smoking travellers not waiting until the last minute to go through security - which would more than pay for any building alterations!

It's true! Every time you take a drag the plane loses 100 ft in alt. If you have a manual battery it rolls slightly when you push the button too!

This is slightly OT but here in Seattle we cannot even smoke in the Ferry lines outside as the smoke can waft into someone else's vehicle, which is a valid point, I don't even allow smoking in my own car. The other day I vaped in line and immediately got 2 people yelling "No Smoking, a$$hole!". I didn't feel like educating several cars of people so I just stopped.

I guess Snus would be a good backup for a lot of situations like these.
