Strange though I couldn't find any information at all on KLM or LH...even when trying a dummy booking.
Just glad I didn't go 'big' on my last phone !
Galaxy Note 7, the 787 in your pocket. On a more serious 'note, how many people will give up their newest gadget, and how many will try and hide them - especially on return trips.

LH was making announcement during safety briefing that Galaxy 7 has to be switched off and no charging at the end of September.

I don't think hiding a phone is incredibly difficult so not very different outcome from having it banned by some banner.
