As someone with severe allergies and asthma, perfumes and colognes are horrible for me. As is scented lotion. Please think of others around you.

Saw this on a LH flight LHR-CGN. A few bad stares from me and pax around her and the girl stopped :).

It will trigger a migraine if I'm around it for more than a few seconds. If you trigger a migraine when I'm on a flight, you will not be happy about being in the same cabin with me, rest assured.

Had that happen once before too. Lady right behind me started with the polish. The smell throughout the cabin was very strong. I told the FA and they told her to stop. 5 minutes later and she was at it again. This time she saw me get up and speak to the FA. They put a stop to it but it seemed to take a long time for the air to get completely removed.:td:

It's for this reason I often wondered about pets on flights and what they would do if pax with allergies were on the same flight as a dog/cat. Obviously pets can be for medical reasons so they cannot be banned so :confused:

Sorry - I don't see the problem, allegy aside. Nail polish smells no stronger than many foods that somebody may have brought on board, or the amount of perfume/cologne that many people apply. Really - what is the big deal :confused:

If you have an allergy, then I agree it's a problem, but so is the person eating nuts if you have nut allergies, etc, etc

True - but it's a problem that can be avoided. No one has to paint their nails on an airplane. Like PTravel, it causes MrBaglady migraines (as does perfume so it's fortunate that I don't wear any). Yep, I'm allergic to cats and dogs too. Yes, I have to deal with it. Fortunately, I have lots and lots of medicines I take but that doesn't mean that I won't have a miserable flight. Something as simple as not putting on perfume (had that happen during an overseas flight while I was asleep - woke up having an asthma attack) or nail polish during the flight could help keep someone from misery - wait until your off the plane to do this. Those of us with migraines/allergies - thank you!

I once had to ask Ivana Trump to cap her nail polish.

agreed but i would have added that if she really wanted to do it, that she be "considerate of the other pax" and go to the lav (tho i would have used the navy & coast guard term ;))

Read, Sleep, Chat, listen to music, watch a movie, but please no odor causing activites. It's a small space! :mad:

I would have gotten up and heaved on her. That would have taught her.

Using nail polish and/or remover on a plane is as inconsiderate as lighting a cigar in the middle of a crowd!

The TSA allows nail polish and nail polish remover up to the 3 oz limit for carry-on and no limit for checked baggage..

The TSA bans flammable paints and paint thinners. None allowed in carry-on and none allowed in checked baggage.

I looked up the MSDS's for nail polish, nail polish remover and paint thinner. Nail polish and remover have extreme or high flammability hazard while paint thinner has moderate hazard.

Somthing is wrong. And it isn't just the smell. Isn't nail polish a flammable paint?

There is definately something wrong with this if they're allowing nail polish and nail polish remover since it's that flammable :eek:

What.. it wouldn't be so bad in economy? (Where presumably there wouldn't be so much distance between pax...)
