This means that the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) does not have a presence on private jets. They are not required to go through the same screening procedures as commercial flights. So, if you are flying on a private jet, you can rest assured that your bags will not be searched.
The fine for smoking or vaping on a flight can range from $2 to $4,000, and by itself is not a jailable offense. However, it can quickly escalate if a person is found to have tampered with a smoke detector, or failed to comply with a crew member's instruction, such as to stop smoking.
Pilots can and sometimes do smoke in the cockpits of business jets. These can be as large as airliners (see BBJ), but usually aren't. Even when a country and/or airline ban smoking in the flight deck, some pilots will ignore the ban and still light up.
You may smoke on a cruise ship, but only in designated smoking areas. On most ships operated by U.S. cruise lines, all indoor public spaces are off-limits with the exceptions being the casino (or part of the casino), a cigar lounge (if the ship has one) and one or two other lounges.
Whereas internal FAA regulations call for maximum $25,000 fines for smoking on planes and distracting crews, several incidents involving cigarettes in lavatories resulted in fines of $500 or less.
Pilots can and sometimes do smoke in the cockpits of business jets. These can be as large as airliners (see BBJ), but usually aren't. Even when a country and/or airline ban smoking in the flight deck, some pilots will ignore the ban and still light up. This was quite common with Asian carriers in the past.
Passengers on a private jet do still need to pass through security. However, removing shoes or separating liquids isn't necessary — in fact, the general regulations about how much liquid is allowed don't apply to private charter jets. Because of this, private jet security for passengers is often faster.
Again, the important thing to remember is that there are no set rules when it comes to tipping. Some passengers prefer to tip the crew every time they fly, while others leave a larger tip at the end of a holiday or multi-leg business trip.
Therefore, the wealth of those who possess private jets rises in proportion to the size of their planes. The typical owner of large luxury private jet has a net worth between $60 million and $70 million. The average wealth of owners of midrange and super-midsize aircraft is around $120 million.
The FCC prohibits the use of cell phone devices on aircraft as a way of preventing navigation disruption within the flight deck. Therefore, they strictly prohibit the use of cell phones during the critical phases just before and while the plane is taking off.
No, airplanes (commercial aviation) do not have cameras in the bathrooms, or as they are called, “lavatories”. That would be illegal. If your finger, “touches” the reflection of your finger, it only means that there isn't a layer of thick glass over the reflective material.
Bathroom cleanliness in-flight is handled by the flight attendant as well, who checks throughout the flight to ensure the lavatories are stocked and tidy.

Smoking is prohibited in all suites, staterooms, indoor public areas and private balconies. There are multiple outdoor areas on the ship where smoking is permitted. Clearly marked “Designated Smoking Areas” are available onboard and include a sufficient number of ashtrays that are emptied regularly.
If you are caught smoking outside in a nonsmoking area, you will be asked to move to a smoking area. If caught smoking in your cabin or cabin balcony, you will be told to stop and charged a cleaning fee (typically $200 to $250). If you continue to break the rule, you may be forcibly removed from the ship.
