Using electronics on take off - Oh Dear
How To Use Your Electronics During Takeoff Without Getting Busted
From gizmodo Why write this sort of rubbish, mind you step 3 is the best plan..... Doh now I am highlighting it. Step 3: Misdirection If you were cruising a cabin for people listening to music, and saw a passenger with a pair of headphones folded neatly on his lap—unplugged cord in full view—you would naturally assume he wasn't wearing his headphones, right? You would. And you'd be wrong. Because that guy is me, and I travel with two pairs of headphones: A set of cans carried mostly as a ruse (though it is nice to give the ear canal a break and switch up 'phones on long flights), and a couple of earbuds whispering sweet nothings into my ears under my hoodie during takeoff. This works. Every. Single. Time. Especially if you are pretending to be asleep—an illusion the hoodie can also help reinforce. Just make sure to keep your buckled seatbelt in full view; all of your illusions will be strengthened if the sky narcs think you're a model citizen edit: oops forgot to put OT in title, sorry |
The first commenter nailed it:

It also annoys me sometimes that BA Staff is particularly rigorously enforcing the no electronics rule, while AA for example usally doesn't give a thing about people listening to music on their ipod or reading their ebooks on takeoff and landing. However, I do understand the safety concerns to some extend, so at the end of it all, it's not worth arguing or getting worked up about, after all it's about 2x 10-15 Minutes of your journey. Certainly not worth acting like a little child as he describes... |
They say NO … so I comply.
But then I am old, and accustomed to conforming, and beating sh 1t out of stroppy kids :D |
As there is no reference to BA or BAEC this will be better suited in the Travel Technology forum. Thanks.

Thanks, I like the hoodie idea. I may use that some time in the future, though I doubt I will both with the second set of earbuds.
^^ :D |
