It is a lesson for smokers to never smoke on a plane...as reported by The Straits Times. This lady of Thai national was on a budget airline, but the flight ended up costing here a great deal more. She was fined $1,000 for smoking in the plane toilet.
She had been on a Tiger Airways flight from Bangkok to Singapore this Saturday when a crew member smelt cigarette smoke coming from a toilet. Suparat Daorung, 24 - was then spotted leaving the toilet and returning to her seat.
Another crew member went in and found the cigarette butt inside a dustbin. They informed their supervisor who approached Suparat, who admitted that she had smoked inside the toilet. The supervisor then informed the captain who alerted ground staff in Singapore. She was arrested when the plane touched down at Changi Airport.
A packet of cigarettes with 12 sticks left, and a lighter were seized from her. The cigarette butt found in the toilet was also handed over to the police.
She could have been fined up to $5,000 or jailed for up to one year or both.
