Could I use my iPhone on an airplane?

Hi I'm flying KLM from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam this week and I was wondering could i use my iPhone on the plane while on airplane mode? Do I have to turn it off?

Yes.set it to flight mode.

It would be wise to turn it off. The rules usually are that mobile devices aren't allowed and should be turned off. You should obey, because a few hours without an iPhone won't kill you.

No you never have to turn it off. As long as your mobile is in airplane mode its fine.

You have to turn it off while the plane is taking off and landing, but you can use it in airplane mode during the flight. The crew will tell you when you're allowed to use your Electronic Devices.

You have to make sure it is off during take off and landing. The pilot will usually notify passengers when to turn them off and when they can turn them back on.
The signals from cell phones can disrupt the signal between plane and air traffic control towers.

Yes - as long as it's on airplane mode. While waiting for takeoff during the safety video you will be told when to turn off your phones. Make sure before turning it off that it's already on airplane mode. You must turn it off COMPLETELY during take-off and landing. Hope I helped and have a safe flight.xoxo
