Try and describe the smell as best you can (however ridiculous; like tangerines and diesel, etc) and the texture of the smoke; was it like steam, fog, dri-ice, etc.

I know you probably had a lot of other things on your mind at the time. Sorry you had this happen to you but I'm trying to nail down what it was.
Cheers.

It was thick and it smelt like exhaust fumes. At first I thought it was condensation but it was much more fume like. It was thick fog like smoke that was slightly yellow and hard to see through. It was like smoke from a smoke machine at a gig. People weren’t having trouble breathing but it smelt chemically and you instinctively put a jumper over your mouth to block
it out.

It def wasn’t like bonfire smoke. And as soon as we were off the plane the smell was gone. Our clothes and hair didn’t continue to smell but my husband said his throat hurt. I tried to attach a picture but couldn’t get it to work !
