Flights: Cabin crew member reveals the reason your phone must be off while in the skies
![]() 1921 Friday, 29 May, 2020, 02:05 Flights can require passengers to follow certain regulations, one of which includes turning your phone off or switching it to flight mode. This means that a passenger can no longer access mobile data or the internet from their phones while in the sky.
