Seven Common Travel Myths

Myth:

If you use your Blackberry or cellphone in flight, the plane will crash.

 

False: The FAA has tested all sorts of electronic devices for 25 years, at 100 times the RF interference levels—and nothing happened. The FAA simply states that no link between operating the devices has been proved. It's been left up to the airlines to determine their own policy—and that policy is to put away your Blackberry. By using your cellphone during flight, you risk interfering with a flight crew—but the plane won't crash.
