Do you turn off your phone on the airplane?

[PowerYoga]

phone's only off if I need it when I land, otherwise airplane mode and games.

I turn it off, but that's because a cellphone without signal (airplane mode) is pretty worthless, so I'd rather have the full battery when I arrive at my destination.

This, but I don't turn off my iPad. I just put it away without turning it off.

This. People think they're so important.

cell phones have become an electronic lonely hearts club. Even if nobody calls / messages they can sign up or get app's for all kinds of superfluous notifications thus satisfying and taking the edge off their lonely lives.

 

[ImpulsE69]

I don't. I leave all electronic devices on at all times to see if the plane will go down. As of yet 0/35 planes have went down. I don't like people lying to me.

Next they will tell me that tucking my head between my knees will save my life.

Some people are actually pretty important. Just because you aren't doesn't mean other people aren't.

How about All of the Above? Havne't been on a plane in over 10 years, and have no plans to ever again. The quality of air travel has plummeted over the last 15 years. Flying coach nowadays is like being a caged animal on the way to the slaughterhouse.

You should try jetblue.

Just put it in airplane mode and listen to music. Note 2 last a ridiculous amount of time in airplane mode and my flights I'm on are in the 2-4 hour range. That barely burns a few percent of the battery in my experience. Since I do travel often for work, I do check my mail once I land since meetings and even length of trip can change while in the air.

Airplane mode, and I play games the whole time and just keep it out of stewardess view.

If it was a real threat, there would be countermeasures.

 

[OVerLoRDI]

Nope, just airplane mode

I don't think it would work anyway.

Then they should be in a private jet, or at LEAST in first class.

Being in first class wouldn't change this situation at all.

 

[jagec]

Being in first class wouldn't change this situation at all.

It would prevent dainthomas from seeing them checking Facebook on their phones and accusing them of an inflated sense of self-importance.

Has anyone actually gotten airplane mode to work on a phone? I've been through like 3 screens so far. I can't get it to fly!
