I couldn't see a date on this article, but I believe that this is no longer the case. Since smoking has been stopped during flights, the air is only circulated.

Actually, if the plane is pressurized (as all commercial airliners are above 12,000 feet) outside air is continually being brought in, heated, circulated through the cabin, and then discharged. the cabin pressure is adjusted and maintained by varying the dump valves located in the wing root. The cabin temperature is adjusted by varying the mixture of heated air and ambient air as the air is brought in to the cabin. An exchange rate of fifteen times a minute sounds reasonable.

It does not matter whether farting is allowed on not anywhere,when it's time,there's no stopping it.

A few pickled eggs and a beer before the flight help.

After just completing returning to the states from Vietnam and 25 hours in the air I can attest to the fact you have to let it out.

No-one can tell even if you make it SBD (silent but deadly) and making it to a toilet is not always feasible, nor within enough time.

In the terminal, you just want to walk, relax and attempt what is known as the 'crop dusting' method. Just walk along, letting bits (hopefully not pieces) escape as you walk through the crowds.

If something is ripe or burns as it escapes, just walk ahead then stop and look back at the faces as they arrive in the 'dusting zone'

Sarge, an alternate plan with the burners is to look at some older lady in an accusatory fashion, and hold that for a few moments or until her companions notice the atmospheric addition and your gaze. In most cases they will make the connection as intended, and give your new friend an unaproving eye. This technique has worked for me on numerous occasions when in confined areas.

I guess the hope is that dusting does not turn to seeding.

Clif is right. Look around and find a suitable victim and make sure others see your stare.

A good fart is a bodily function that is a source of embarrassment to most women and a source of entertainment to most men.

.Boys as young as 4 or 5 learn it in the bathtub. Haven't you ever watched AFV? They think it's funny right away.
