I dont use electrical devices when on an airplane. I dont want to be the one going to jail if my flight crashes.

You won't get service on a plane. I flew from NOLA to Dallas and didn't get it 30 seconds after takeoff.


This. If you aren't in airplane mode you'll just drain your battery down searching for a signal in Roaming mode

I wouldn't worry about going to jail. I'd worry about going to the morgue.

MSY is one of the few airports I can catch a signal a few minutes before landing.

Since I'm a child this forces me to live text my landing to some poor son of a bitch I feel like annoying.

Always the dilemma on the 172....do we fly higher in the cool air or take it down a couple thousand where we can talk on our phones

When I fly American, I typically spend the $3.95 to use messaging apps (i.e. iMessage). Other than that, I'll just listen to music or read on my Kindle.

this is always what has bugged me abuot the 911 flight that went down in Pennsylvania.



At 10,000 feet and under the cell signal should work if there is a nearby tower.

I've spent the $2 a few times for messaging on Southwest. Though it's pretty useless for me as I spend about 99% of the flight white knuckled and trying to drink as much as possible to deal with flying

Could it be for safety reasons, for instance terrorist plotting?


I think a half decent terrorist would have his plan ironed out by the time he's at 30,000 ft so no.
