Travelers on Delta and JetBlue said goodbye to switching their mobile devices off during takeoff and landing just hours after the FAA changed its regulations,
and now other airlines have joined the party. American Airlines
announced a couple of days ago that the FAA had cleared its flights for
the new rules, and United made a similar announcement this afternoon.
While larger items like laptops will still need to be stowed at certain
points in your journey, the FAA's decision means handheld personal
devices like most phones, tablets, e-readers and portable games stay on.
There are a few exceptions of course, and in-flight voice calls are still a no-no, but at least you can finally leave those magazines and newspapers at the gate.
