| 195048 | 2003-11-27 00:48:00 | Don't they make you switch your laptops off in the plane? Or is that only with international flights (I remember seeing on the TV screen saying "Please turn off cellphones, pagers, laptop computers, and all electronic devices") | somebody (208) | ||
| 195049 | 2003-11-27 00:53:00 | dad travels internationally and he uses his laptop on some flights.. and even some flights provide internet connection to ur laptop at a considerble or stupid cost... cellphones off yes... i think it mite be only if u have wireless internet or something (like the mobilise with vodafone) it costs $199 to travel by plane or $70 by bus so i chose the cheaper and longer mode of transport...hehe |

Or is that only with international flights (I > remember seeing on the TV screen saying "Please turn > off cellphones, pagers, laptop computers, and all > electronic devices") You only need to switch off electronic devices such as laptops for the first and last 20 minutes during take off and landing - don't want to interfer with the navigational devices do well :D AFAIK, cellphones are still banned during the entire flight. |

| 195051 | 2003-11-27 01:04:00 | Cellphones are banned from the time the plane door is shut before takeoff, until its opened again after landing. (Its best that shutting and opening is done in the right order) Now the problem is, that some arrogant people believe its OK to use a new generation cellphone-PDA device in flight because they "only want to use the diary function". The fact that many can't be powered up separately from the phone is lost on them. One guy even stated "mine is fine, as I remove the antenna" when in fact such an action makes the phone radiate interference locally even more. Chris, you could pretend the bus windows are multiple LCD screens, showing a virtual trip through wonderful NZ scenery? |

| 195053 | 2003-11-27 03:53:00 | Grab some seasickness tabs the night before travelling and you should then be able to read your book . A bonus is that you might end up sleeping for most of the journey . Your trip will be over in no time then . :D |
