Vaping on Airplanes
If you’re a vaper and you’re going on holiday, you know as well as I do that there are so many questions in your mind before even getting to the airport. “Can I bring my device on the plane” “Can I vape in the airport?” Etc, so to minimise the struggle, I have included a list for all of our customers to have a quick and easy look at what the rules are for different airlines. As of June 2018, we have tried to make this as relevant as possible, however to be on the safe side, I would suggest looking on the airline’s website to ensure you’re not breaking any rules.
