UK passengers can use their phones during flights, but with certain restrictions. Here's what you need to know ¹: Nigerians make una learn. All those restrictions involved putting on airplane mode or turn off. U can use ur phone doest. Involve making calls. U fit dey snap, watch downloaded movies etc. - *Airplane Mode Required*: Phones must be in airplane mode, which disables cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connections to prevent interference with the aircraft's communication systems. - *Usage During Flight Stages*: Typically, phones can be used in airplane mode during the cruise phase of flight, but it's best to follow the airline's specific guidelines. During takeoff and landing, phones are usually required to be turned off or in airplane mode. - *Making Calls and Sending Texts*: Making voice calls or sending texts is generally prohibited on UK airlines unless the aircraft is specially equipped with an approved mobile phone control system. Even then, the crew will inform passengers when it's allowed. - *Airline Policies*: Different airlines may have varying rules regarding electronic device usage during flights. Some may permit the use of devices in airplane mode throughout the flight, while others might have additional restrictions. - *Security Screening*: When going through airport security, passengers are required to remove their phones and other electronic devices from their bags for X-ray screening. |

Really, like seriously? This means that many crew members will have a lot of people to contend with most times because people usually use airplane mode most times. Come to think of it what of international flights coming in? Are passengers required to turn off their phones once they enter Nigerian airspace. |

Racoon:It’s not to turn off phone. Yes, phone can be turned off, but when there’s Airplane mode, that can be turned on. But Nigerian hostesses tend to force people to SWITCH OFF their phones

Hedonisco:Yet I bet you will be fervently praying to God as your action is causing the plane to crash. Pretty sure you will forget this cool guy act. |

Frezhkid10:A little imagination would help you here. But it's almost as if I know you. You employ imagination when you don't need to and stubbornly refuse to do so when it is important to, claiming you already know it all. Is that faint sharp noise ideal? You realise that in that second the control tower could be telling the pilot something important and that interference will drown it out don't you? Plane crashes have been caused in this exact manner. |

olumike001:Google is your friend. Phones don't do nada. I have never switched off my phone on a flight. When they start wakaring to check seat belt and bag I just keep the phone in my pocket, after takeoff I bring it back. Only Nigeria does this rubbish of switching off. On Delta you get free wifi, In Nigeria they tell you to off your phone and listen to the engine sound. If Phones were really dangerous, they wouldn't even allow it inside the cabin. |

Gbadugbakun:Taking off requires communications with the Control tower and radial and phones always disrupt the waves , as you know a seconds in plane is like a day so whatever needs to be done must be done immediately, the same with landing as well and following some turbulences during free flow in the space.... So you have to be patience , at least you can take pictures before the engines go on and after landing as well , but in all, adhere strictly to the voice coming from the cockpit.... |
