But today’s budget-conscious models demand different things from airlines – causing them to charge for almost everything – from meals to extra legroom to desired seats for people. While serving alcohol on flights has become a very common practice, it is strictly prohibited for people to smoke on flights. But this was also not the case all along.
Apparently, earlier, people used to get an option of choosing whether they wanted a seat in the smoking cabin or the non-smoking cabin. Yes, that’s right! Smoking and non-smoking cabins in flights Pictures of two boarding passes have surfaced online, showing how smoking cabins and non-smoking cabins were a regular thing and were also mentioned on the boarding passes of the passengers. A Reddit user shared the pictures on the social media site and asked for help from social media users to try and figure out the dates when the boarding passes with the smoking and non smoking cabin details must have been issued.
The user shared that even though they made a lot of efforts to trace it, they were not able to get hold of the details. Several social media users reacted to the post and some even tried to figure out when the boarding passes were from. Some speculated the tickets must be from 1996 to 2000.
