Smoking was banned on domestic flights around 1990 and on international flights around 1994 (can't remember the exact dates).
To my knowledge, the only carriers that still allow smoking are Olympic, Aeroflot and maybe Alitalia. Can anyone help me out to confirm this?
I believe that AZ and OA have also recently banned smoking. I read somewhere though that Aeroflot won a court case allowing them to let people smoke on the US flights. Apparently they argued that it infringed their sovereignty to have to abide by US laws on international flights.
