i think its funny @darri...they have a no ecig policy ..is it on their website ? id like to see it ..too bad they dont have a no -idiots policy ...the people who cant even line up according to a letter-number given ahead of time lol .Or the people who dont understand to get everything out of their pockets and into the tray ...god its sooo hard

Southwest does not allow e-cig use one plane. I saw what Dar saw on their safety sheet and in their magazine. Attendant also said it during their "no smoking allowed" spiel. That was on July 6.

i was not questioning the validity of what darri said .I was asking out of curiosity if it was on their rules online but i will look it up .

I don't fly much, but I just flew to Denver and back last weekend, and didn't try to vape on flights either way (one was SW). They were short enough and I didn't feel the urge. However, I was stuck in O'Hare for 4+ hours on the way back due to weather delays. I was too chicken to ask security or anyone that works there if vaping was allowed in common spaces, so I did the toilet vape a couple of times. The second time I must have been next to the REAL breakfast burrito guy. Blech! Anyone know the rules in airports, or is it on a case by case basis?

there is a permanent thread on main forum about travel and e-cigs .From what i've read it depends on airport .

I know where you're coming from, but nevertheless, something about that phrase seems oh so wrong, lol.

Hey waylonjess - I was only makin the point that I was just on southwest airline's flights and it was printed in their onboard info. It's all good, except that they don't allow vapin!

It is wrong, even when you understand what I really mean.

Whats ECF? I only read V4L. Thanks for the story....Its against policy to use e-cig? since when? thats news to me. they making it up? If they dont know what it is they say its against rules?

Southwest does state that working functioning e-cigs are not allowed (but they have seen me stealthing and not bothered because no one complained. I flew to denver and back out. Vaped heavily in DIA and PHL.

Toilet vape! How many ml's fit in that tank? talk about a mega-carto! I would definately alcohol wipe that down and feel funny saying to use a Drip Tip.

There's a bit of a catch-22, since the lithium batteries are supposed to be taken as carry-on, not checked.

I would never pack them in checked baggage anyway....I've seen what happens to that luggage. I've had one suitcase mangled! Talk about a P*ss*d Pooch! Not to mention the sticky fingers....I would be Irate if they were to be stolen outta my checked baggage.
