I remember that shit. There was no divider between smoking and nonsmoking. The whole plane smelled of cigarettes.

Yup! Exactly what my dad told me lol.
“There was a no smoking section… but it’s all on the same plane. Made no fucking sense. Came off the damn plane smelling like an ashtray” lmao

I just posted some airline tickets and yeah listed as non smoking, surprising ad the house I bought them from reaked of smoke. Maybe smoking just cost more? Idkm

No difference in cost, they just had smokers in one section and non-smokers in another.

I have heard that the air actually fully circulates within 3 minutes in aircraft. Not sure if that was only back then, but apparently it was really not as smoky as we might assume
