Would I be allowed? (Australian)?

I'm boarding a QANTAS plane and going from QLD to VIC (Melbourne), would I be allowed to put my iPhone (5) to airplane mode and turn it off and just use it to take pictures on the plane?

Added (1). It will just be through my window, and if I'm taking it through the opposite side of me, i will ask their permission.

You probably could, but there's a good chance others would get parinoid because they might think they're in the shot. You may be asked to stop by a flight attendant because your technically invading other's privacy. By the way, it is illegal to not comply with a flight attendants or pilots request (at least in the US). That's why the Mile High Club isn't illegal, but if you're asked to stop, you must.

Honestly though, I think you'll be just fine.

Yes, airplane mode diasbles the signal, which is what is frowned upon on flights.

in he uk, mile high club is illegal on a public charter.

Different airlines and aviation authorities have different policies and for different planes. Some pilots have their own opinions too, so it's impossible to tell for sure.

Quantas domestic flights seem to allow the use of mobile phones in flight mode. Just not during take off, landing or taxi.

  • Will an Australian Iphone 4s work in New Zealand? My Nana lives in australia and has an Iphone 4s to give to me. She has used it but need the screen replaced as it was dropped on the bathroom tile floor. But she is getting it replaced for me. I'm not sure where she purchased it from, I do think I will have to get it unlocked because she was on a plan that you pay it off for 24 months. I'm not too sure if it can be and if so where? I would ask her but she doesn't know squat about technology.
  • Where can I get a good Australian plug in for my iPhone USB cord? I'm going from the US to Australia, and all I need is something that can plug in to an Australian outlet without blowing up my phone. Where can I get one of these that will actually work, and won't cost me a ton? Links are appreciated!
