And you can read this article and find out what you can do on an airplane in order to spend this time interesting.

Rule 1: Can I or not turn on the phone on an airplane?

When they ask what can not be done on an airplane, many immediately answer that it is impossible to turn on mobile phones and other electronics. It is believed that the danger can be represented by lithium batteries on which devices work. And also, that the exchange of data on wireless networks can disrupt the operation of onboard electronics and lead to disaster.

But the information that you can not use any electronics on board is already a myth. According to the rules of Aeroflot, the phones need to be disconnected only during the steering, take -off and landing. Phones, laptops and other electronics should also be turned off at the request of the crew commander.

Now both large international companies and Aeroflot have aircraft in which there are a lot of electronics for comfort and entertainment of passengers. For example, a plane Airbus A350, equipped with ultra -flowing panels for watching films, cartoons, other videos and reading books. There are sockets near the chairs.

For an additional fee in the air, you will be given access to the Wi-Fi network. True, this service is not very cheap and there is little traffic. The use of the Internet will cost at least in 15 euros. Speeds, according to passengers, are only enough to communicate on social networks and surf on the network. For example, read this article.

Say that you can not do on an airplane of this level of selfie comfort or communicate in messengers stupidity. There is only one aircraft in Russia today Airbus a350,and he now flies from Sheremetyevo to the pointer Kan, the resort area of \u200b\u200bthe Dominican Republic. In the future, the park of these aircraft will expand. But, probably, all of them will serve long -range flights.

Multimedia entertainment systems are in other airflot aircraft on Boeing 777 There is also a technique for watching videos, reading books and going to the Internet. And on board airliners Airbus A330and Airbus a320-321there are no tablets, but you can ask the stewardesses so that you are turned on the Internet for an additional fee.

The first in Russia Airbus A350first flew between Moscow and St. Petersburg. In the holiday season, he was put on the Moscow-Sochi route. Now, in the fall, he flies to the Dominican Republic. In the near future, 7 such aircraft should appear in Russia. In order not to think what you can and what can not be done on the plane, choose the Comfort class on the Aeroflot website and you will be displayed by flights with multimedia entertainment for passengers.

Rule 2: Can or not smoke on an airplane?

Among what cannot be done on an airplane, smoking is almost in the first place. This is due to the danger of a fire, and also with the fact that a fire protection system can work due to tobacco smoke. The comfort of other passengers also matters. But it seems that the matter is in money. The fact is that the aircraft have special systems for recirculation and air filtration. If they do not smoke on board, then you need to clean the air not so often.

Interestingly, smoking is included in the list of what cannot be done on an airplane, not in all countries. On the internal flights of some Far Eastern countries you can smoke. For example, there is no ban on smoking in the Arab Emirates.

Our smokers in connection with the ban on smoking have many questions. For example, is it possible to take a lighter or matches with you to the aircraft salon to smoke at the arrival? Will they take them when inspection at the airport?

Each airline has its own rules on hand luggage, and they need to be read separately. The Aeroflot website now clearly indicates that one passenger in manual lumber can have one disposable lighter.

This is due to the fact that the lighter is compressed combustible gas, and it poses a fire hazard. Nothing is written about matches in the rules. But it seems that the matches tucked with gasoline lighter and a block of gas disposable lighters are best left at home.

Rule 3: Can or not smoke electronic cigarettes on an airplane?

Smoking electronic cigarettes - This is also something that cannot be done on board the aircraft. But, as for their transportation, you just obligated to put an electronic cigarette in manual luggage. Of course, if you need this electronic cigarette.

This rule is associated not only with electronic cigarettes, but also with all devices working on lithium batteries. You can not take any devices with batteries in the luggage compartment. You need to take out the battery, take it with you to the salon, and then put the equipment itself in baggage. If we are talking about a wheelchair, then it is allowed to take it into luggage. But then the pilot reports this, and he should know the place where this dangerous load is located. So, everything is serious.

The fact is that batteries can explode. I had to see how the electronic cigarette explodes. She fell to the floor and crumbled into pieces from the blow. The battery with two contacts jumped out. And these contacts closed each other. No fire happened, but the sound of the explosion was strong and the smell of plastic Gary too.

Aeroflot rules say that in manual luggage, one passenger can have no more than two kilograms of lithium batteries. And accumulators of electronic cigarettes including.

The only thing that cannot be done on an airplane is to take the battery without any packaging. The device itself is considered appropriate packaging for the battery. Phone, laptop or electronic cigarette. A separate battery needs to be packed and it is protected by sticky tape.

According to the stories of people who smoked electronic cigarettes on board the aircraft, sometimes the flight attendants close their eyes to this. In other cases, a remark is made for smoking. In general, smoking electronic cigarettes on the plane is prohibited, but no smoke sensors are triggered on them, and if the smell of electronic cigarettes is not sharp, but not grumpy, it turns out to break this rule. In Kazakhstan, and some other countries, for smoking electronic cigarettes on the plane you can get a solid fine. In Russia, a fine is provided only for smoking ordinary cigarettes, and its size is from 500 to 1,500 rubles.

Now on the Aeroflot website there is even a special set of rules that explains the rules for transporting electronic cigarettes.

Rule 4: Can or not knit on an airplane?

The strict rules of airlines infringe not only adolescents with gadgets and smokers, but also grandmothers who like to grumble on them. The needlewomen who make cute knitted things crocheted and knitting needles are also forced to obey the rules.

The list of what cannot be done on the plane got knitting. The fact is that metal knitting needles are a potential weapon. And before the flight, along with daggers, sabers and manicure scissors, you need to put it in baggage.

When asked about whether it is possible to knit on an airplane with wooden or plastic knitting needles, airlines answer almost one voice that it is impossible. And wooden knitting needles and a hook belong to potentially dangerous objects, and can be used as a weapon.

Rule 5: Can I take a toy weapon on a plane?

In the list of what cannot be done on an airplane is a game of war. It is not very clear why on board the aircraft you can not carry toys “similar to weapons”. Probably due to a possible panic of passengers, but will there be less panic for nervous passengers because of the crying child from whom things were selected?

The criteria are too blurry, which toys are like weapons. There are sometimes very unpleasant conflict situations in airports when the inspection service requires the kids to take a machine for inflating soap bubbles or pistols in the form of dogs, or other things that are not at all similar to weapons. The rules of airlines clearly spell out only that you can take a toy weapon in the luggage compartment of the “formidable” toy weapons.

Rule 6: Can I or not hooligate on an airplane?

For some people who consumed alcohol, the question of what can and cannot be done on an airplane becomes very important. They want to check in reality what will happen if you loudly sing songs on an airplane, slap a stewardess on the pope and sort things out with a relationship between the cabin in an honest duel.

But all this, what cannot be done on the plane categorically. According to the instructions, the stewardesses must first make a remark. And to warn that if the passenger does not stop behaving inadequately, the police will meet him at the airport. If no persuasion helps, the stewardess has the right to apply police methods of neutralizing criminals, and even tie the offender to the chair. And yes, even the two girls can be difficult to cope with the raging passenger if this is a large man.

Rule 7: Can or not be worn on a balaclava on an airplane?

Rather, this ban falls under what cannot be done on an airplane, like hooliganism. In Russian legislation, there is no official ban on wearing balaclava and masks, with the exception of their use at public meetings and rallies. But, for example, in France, hats that hide the face are generally prohibited. Including Balaklavs and hijabs.

Perhaps you are going to fly on an airplane from Yakutsk in winter. And then Balaklava is just a suitable headdress for a windy take -off strip. But it is better to put it in luggage or manually, so as not to scare passengers.

Rule 8: Can or not take large jars of cosmetics and spray cans on a plane or not to take deodorants?

According to the rules of Russian airlines in the cabin, it is impossible to transport fluids and creams with a volume of more than 100 ml. It also applies to toothpaste, oil for babies, and shampoo. Many cosmetic companies sell mini-packing for their funds. Just one passenger in manual luggage may have no more than a liter of cosmetics. And all liquids and creams should be collected in one transparent plastic bag.

Among what cannot be done on an airplane, shaving. Firstly, they will take a razor from you if you do not put it in your luggage. Secondly, any spray cans are prohibited on the plane-both deodorants and shaving foam.

In the cabin of the aircraft you can’t do a manicure. In the vast majority of airlines from your hand luggage, weapons and manicure scissors will be removed.

As for the mirror, in order to make up, we did not find any prohibitions on this subject. In general, glass items can be taken on a plane. But sharp things - no. The main thing is that your mirror does not have sharp edges. Let the mirror be of high quality and safe, mounted in a cosmetic bag or in a well -closed case.

Rule 9: During quarantine, can you or cannot be met and accompanied in the airport building?

If, when you read this article, quarantine is still not removed, then you can only go to the airport building with a ticket in your hands. A crowd of those who meet with signs in their hands could have been waiting for people in the airport building. Now these people are forced to huddle under the visors and freeze under the boost and snow in front of the airport. Still, in order to fly to another country, you need to have an analysis on the COVID-19 with a negative result.

Rule 10: No need to panic if you see how the aircraft wing is bending?

Violation of this ban is definitely not punished in any way. But screaming and running in a panic is that you cannot do on board the aircraft. It happens that the stewardess now and then asks you to raise the porthole curtain. She may know that there are particularly impressionable passengers next to you. They can scare the weather outside the window. Or the fact that the wing of the aircraft is bending from air flows. The fact that the wings of the aircraft bend is normal. Those who doubt it can see tests where the wings of the aircraft bend at an angle of 90 degrees.
