That may be true. But when they ask you to turn it off, you should.
Not arguing with that. But what's airplane mode for??
I put my wife and babys on so I know how to put it on it was not inflating for me and nothing was coming out.
"Even if the bag doesn't inflate"-What I have heard over 1,000 times in my life.
yes was before takeoff maybe 20 min before after they announced to turn off electronic devices.Isn't airplane mode essentially turning it off?
No. I know a Delta pilot who told me that when phones are on even in airplane mode, they hear feedback on their communications with the control tower. Once they reach cruising altitude and the plane is more or less in auto pilot, that is when they allow electronics and airplane mode.
He's full of #$%^.The only reason to turn it off is because the FAA requires it. There's no other reason for it.

Anyone know Israel's rules regarding compensation for a delayed/lost bag? Is there any official government rule here regarding this?
Wife had a Delta flight from JFK to DCA last night. After waiting for about an hour at the gate (sitting in the plane), they were told the flight was cancelled. They rebooked her to a flight this morning, as there were no later flights last night. She wasn't able to get any clear answer as to why the flight was cancelled, just one of the gate agents mentioned that several flights were being cancelled and that their time on the runway got timed out (not sure if this makes sense). Needless to say that she missed her morning meeting in DC. spent over $100 in taxis going to and back from the JFK, and also was not able to cancel her hotel reservation in DC as it was already too late. What would be a proper compensation for such hassle?
10 days after submitting a complain, and still no response from Delta, unbelievable.
