Jeez, there’s almost nowhere in the world you can go and NOT hear a goddamn cellphone. Commercial flying is bad enough now; if people can talk on cellphones on the plane, I’ll walk.
I agree with MaJack-please dear God, no, no, no cell phones on planes,
I commute 4 hours a day to my job every day and if I could, I would ban cell phones from all means of public transportation unless it was an emergency call…..
I’m not thinking carrying on a conversation is all you can do with a smart phone. How am I putting anyone at risk by reading a book on my phone or iPad!!
Good Morning Gloucester

NO NO NO! The last thing I want while crammed into an airplane is someone, or multiple people next to me yakking on their cell phone.
As someone who flies a lot, please leave airplanes as a “phone free” zone.

I’m thinking it has more to do with internet connections

Want to have fun, turn on your GPS during the flight and watch.
Be sure not to set a destination, it may divert the plane!
