Electronics on Planes?

squiggy

Has anybody ever used a portable dvd player or gameboy on a short flight. Im travelling to Salou only bout 2 and half hrs on board but have a 7 year old nephew who is impossible to amuse.

Any help would be great thanks.

Have you checked with the airline is question? Gameboy should be ok after take off.

Most flights I've been on, it was fine to use electronics any time besides takeoff and landing.

AFAIR, any device with a laser in it (e.g. DVD player) are forbidden from being used on the aircraft.

Nope, I've used a portable cd player on many occasions (not allowed on take-off/landing though). Although I think some aircraft don't allow portable DVD players (but will allow laptops, most of which have inbuilt DVD drives )

You can use just about anything on a Monarch flight. The obvious exception would be a mobile phone.
