I agree. Cars are just as bad. Too much technological crap that breaks and is too expensive to repair.

I thought phones had to be switched off during flights ?
|
|
|
|

Not since a while.
Officially you should set them in airplane mode at take off and landing; I suspect 99% of the phones are still open anyway.
I'd rather be phishing!

Okay, I am not flying that often. This was a rubbish rule anyway, so...

On private planes that is not a requirement and I know of no incidents ever caused by a cellular phone on an airplane. I fly on our corporate planes occasionally and I have seen pilots in the cockpits on their phones. We get no service at altitude so I'm not sure what they were doing.

Better than flying! 
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Humans have a built-in sensor for that, known as "thirst".
..and water? Do I look like a plant or a pet?

Do you really asking us to vote on that (possibly Monday survey ? !) or would you like to decide for yourself?

A rethorical question, so no answer expected.
..but it does make me curious what the monday-survey would judge

No sense holding back. Volunteer for the input of the lounges in judging your animal, vegetable, mineral (or a derived class).

Well - I don't have such a phone. Perhaps they'll do for that what they do for earphones and give them out to the passengers. Kind of a disposable cell phone. Or maybe even build it into the seat (or was that already mentioned).
Someone call it artisanal seating.

Ha, yes, if you dont have a smart phone you are f***ed and have to spend 10 hours folded in half!

Sounds like an excuse they'll give you to install an app on your phone just so they can take a peek at whatever else you've got stored on it. Really, is there any other purpose?

Surely they can ask you to leave the plane, and they don't have jurisdiction over the entire plain? That's a pretty big area, especially if you happen to be around central US...

I'm sorry, I forgot a word.
I meant to type "leave the plain plane" as I think having apps in planes will become the standard

That's the final straw, no more flying for me, my next holiday will be by car to Jutland 
|
|
|
|
|
Isnt Jutland like Zeeland?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, that's why it is so likeable, but for me the big difference is that it is less crowded in Denmark and everything is very relaxed. It reminds me of the Netherlands of the past 
|
|

|

I went to Zeeland once, Vlissingem, it's a nice place, but I have never been north of there, never seen Frisia, Denmark, never been to Heligoland, Norway, or Sweden. Perhaps it is all just too much like England to really motivate me, you know, you want to see something different when you travel.
I would have liked to have tried talking to a Frislander too, I hear English and Fris is very close.
