Use of Electronic Devices

What personal electronic devices can I use on board?

You can use most electronic gadgets on board our aircraft, but there are some you definitely can’t use. Here’s a list of electronic devices and exactly when you can use them.

What you can use at any time:

  • CD players and digital audio or MP3 players
  • Your electric watch
  • Electric shavers – only in the bathrooms
  • Personal medical devices – that includes hearing aids, pace makers, life support systems and electronic nerve simulators

What you can use at any time when switched to flight mode only:

(Putting your device in flight mode means all the transmitting services like Wi‑Fi, GSM, GPRS/EDGE and Bluetooth are off.)

  • Mobile phones
  • Tablets, for example, iPads and Kindles
  • E‑readers
  • Electronic games, for example Nintendo DS
  • Bluetooth devices
  • Personal devices must be in flight mode for taxi, takeoff, approach and landing.

During the flight, usually a few minutes after takeoff, your cabin crew will tell you when you can turn off flight mode and start using transmitting services on your device.

Towards the end of your flight, they’ll let you know when to turn on flight mode for landing.

What you can use during flight only:

  • Laptops
  • Notebooks
  • Portable DVD players with ear phones
  • You must put these electronic devices away in the overhead lockers or under the seat in front of you during taxi, takeoff, approach and landing. The cabin crew will let you know when you can use them.

What you definitely can not use at any time on our flights:

  • AM/FM radios
  • VHF scanner receivers
  • Portable TV sets
  • Radio controlled toys
  • Two‑way transmitters such as walkie‑talkies, amateur radios, citizen band (CB) radios, 49 Mhz transmitters
