    Surely they can ask you to leave the plane, and they don't have jurisdiction over the entire plain? That's a pretty big area, especially if you happen to be around central US...

    I'm sorry, I forgot a word. I meant to type "leave the plain plane" as I think having apps in planes will become the standard ;p

      Well - I don't have such a phone. Perhaps they'll do for that what they do for earphones and give them out to the passengers. Kind of a disposable cell phone. Or maybe even build it into the seat (or was that already mentioned). Someone call it artisanal seating.

          On private planes that is not a requirement and I know of no incidents ever caused by a cellular phone on an airplane. I fly on our corporate planes occasionally and I have seen pilots in the cockpits on their phones. We get no service at altitude so I'm not sure what they were doing.

            Yes, that's why it is so likeable, but for me the big difference is that it is less crowded in Denmark and everything is very relaxed. It reminds me of the Netherlands of the past :-\

              I went to Zeeland once, Vlissingem, it's a nice place, but I have never been north of there, never seen Frisia, Denmark, never been to Heligoland, Norway, or Sweden. Perhaps it is all just too much like England to really motivate me, you know, you want to see something different when you travel. I would have liked to have tried talking to a Frislander too, I hear English and Fris is very close.

                No sense holding back. Volunteer for the input of the lounges in judging your animal, vegetable, mineral (or a derived class). Non-rhetorical:   what have you got to lose?

                        I have a Frisian friend, but when he starts talking Frisian I can't make heads or tails of it. Nevertheless Friesland can be attractive if you like sailing and skating, and they have some nice historic cities like Leeuwarden. Recently I also viewed "Redbad" the series on tv which is about the war between the Frisians and the Franks: Redbad, King of the Frisians - Wikipedia[^] Can not recommend the series though, although the photography is first class, the story is weak and lacking direction and the low rating on IMDB says enough: Redbad (2018) - IMDb[^]

                          I would have thought it half Dutch half English and therefore fairly easy for someone like you, but I guess not.

                            Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.
