You can take it on with you regardless, so just check as to that airlines policy.
Can't lose really.

Yes, it's fine just don't bring any snakes!

Snakes on a plane.

cus they are in contact with the ATC mostly during takeoff and landing which is crucial for getting details of when to land and if theres any emergancies on the landing strip already or any changes...
Some mobile phones etc might have the same frequencies and you might be mistaken for ATC lool.

When I go to Ireland once or twice a year, or anywhere on a plane infact, I know I can use stuff like nintendo DS's etc but I wouldn't dare incase something happens! I just enjoy the view

[Disaronno]

If you decide to play your phones games btw you can use plane mode which is supported by some phones, so you can turn off the connectivity but just use the functions

yes and mobile phones control planes :rolleyes:

you cant use mobile phone because it makes the computer system not work correctly but has not been proved that it dose not affect computer system on board.

Why is it that on take off and landing electronic devices cannot be used?

because it affect the aircraft take off you also need to be aware of what around you in a event of a Mayday not that most people sit their and read on take off.

but their is no real proof that it dose affect the aircraft.

TOTAL FALSE! that electronic devices interfers with the radio and stuff, all air lines have a special lets say, satellite, wich only air planes can get the signal...
They tell you not to use them because they are scared of a terrorist atack.

Example
The plane is about to fly away
Someone calls and tell's in wich direction / plane is it
They locate it
Send's missil
Plane goes down

But then... why at certain point you can use them?
Simply, when they are very high, the chances of that missil to hit the plane are about .0001 in thousands of millions because several factors such as speed, so it's very hard to get hitted.

If it was true what they say about it, then NO ONE could use a cellphone on the airport, no internet on airport and stuff...

This "rule" was hardly considered after the twin towers atack, and so you DO NOT USE THEM, they tell u it can combine signals and u can die...

but it's all A BIG PROVEN FAT LIE.

LOL omg.. yeah if the terrorists were half decent they'd look up the flightplan and attack it enroute, as well as tuning into the air traffic control to find out where the plane is going..

and if a terroist was on board I highly doubt he'd phone someone up to blow up the plane he is on, instead of just doing it from the ground?

just pmsl at that post srsly..
