This in-flight behavior just got an Alaska Airlines passenger blacklisted for life
An Alaska Airlines passenger was banned for life after vaping in an airplane lavatory, triggering a smoke alarm and prompting law enforcement intervention.Summary
A passenger on an Alaska Airlines flight from Seattle to Sacramento was permanently banned from the airline after vaping in the lavatory, which triggered the aircraft's smoke alarm. The pilot requested law enforcement meet the plane upon landing, and authorities subsequently barred the passenger from future flights. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) prohibits vaping on planes, considering it a federal offense and treating e-cigarettes the same as traditional cigarettes. Airlines take vaping seriously due to sensitive smoke detectors in lavatories, which require investigation and potential involvement of law enforcement. Airlines have the right to ban passengers for safety violations, and lifetime bans are not uncommon, especially for those who disregard regulations or interfere with crew duties. Passengers are prohibited from vaping or smoking anywhere on the aircraft and tampering with smoke detectors can lead to more severe penalties.
