Maybe LH wants to restrict your onboard entertainment? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/rolleyes.gif Sort of like the no outside food/drink rule at movies and sporting events.

AA does allow use of a dvd player i use mine all the time and some fa's watch the movie with me

I have used them on both AA and DL with no problem.

The German rules are probably in place to keep German citizens from working on the plane. They wouldn't want you to violate the mandatory 30-hour work week that's all the rage in Europe...

No problem using them inflight in Canada or on Canadian based airlines.
As NJ pointed out, I've sneaked a few minutes myself watching the movie! Modern technology and it's inventivness to entertain us bored folk fascinates me. Bring them on. |
I love all the inventive responses!!
Personally, I've not flown transatlantic, but have flow trans-pacific on several occasions and never gotten a second glance regarding my DVD-enabled laptop. A few FAs have paused behind my chair to watch for a couple of minutes. In general, my noise cancellation headphone seem to grab more attention because the size makes the FAs think it's a FM radio headphone. |
Hey, don't make fun of German bureaucracy until you have lived it. After 4+ years in Deutschland in the early 90's I can tell you that their motto is, "Ve have vays to make you cuoperate!"
For a country that touts themselves as the technological leader of the continent, their telephone system is still pulse-based and baud rates are a joke. But they do have push button phones now! But, remember, you can set your watch by the train system. And it is so much fun walking through Frankfurt Flughafen and seeing all of the Uzzi's proudly displayed. But I will always be so proud of my BMW as I was the day I drove it off the end of the line in Stuttgart! And the gemuchlesheit is something that just doesn't translate into English. I'll take my doppel bock by the liter, please. And don't forget the Nurnberger sausages, the same ones enjoyed by Mark Twain 100 years ago. Auf Wiedersehen! |
Keep in mind that you can rent dvd players (& movies) at select airports. The prices are quite reasonable ($10 per day including one movie + $5 for each extra movie) . See:
http://www.inmotionpictures.com/h_service.htm Clearly, use of DVD must be allowed else these guys would be out of business. |
