[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1919742, member: 204485"] Completely dependant on the carrier, different rules for different carriers. They will make you aware of what you can and cannot do prior to take off but it's general practice to expect passengers to put their devices into Aircraft Mode prior to take off and just before landing. Some carriers have internal WiFi systems which allow you to use a purpose made app on your device to watch on board entertainment media. You will see info for this in boarding lounges. Some have WiFi plus Internet access but you have to pay for it and it may only be available in some classes, eg business class. Personally I prefer not to have to depend on the carrier's on board tech and have a couple of movies on my iPad plus games, music etc. Do have a charge cable with you, most carriers have charging ports for portable devices, some allow you to share media from your own portable device to their screens while charging. It's also not a bad idea to invest in a portable charger. These battery packs are invaluable and can be quite small.
