      In the US the restrooms on planes still have an ashtray. Even though it’s a serious crime to smoke on a plane, it’s better to have a safe place to extinguish a butt rather than risk a trashcan fire at 10,000 ft.

        Same in Europe (Ryanair), but it’s right next to a scary notice about smoke detectors being installed and criminal responsibility for endangering the flight.

          I was in a plane where an idiot apparently triggered the smoke alarm. I don’t know if it had any consequences but they made a very cryptic and like a threat sounding announcement afterwards and put the toilet out of order.
