75% of travellers say ‘No' to mobile phones on planes
Hot on the heels of the airline, Emirates, Ryanair has also announced that passengers will be able to make mobile calls during flights within weeks. However, according to a recent poll by Wanderlust Magazine, the vast majority of travellers are strongly opposed to the move.
The poll of over 1000 of the magazine's readers, showed that three-quarters of respondents (76%) said that they would never use a mobile phone in the air. Only 2% of those questioned said that they would happily use their phones on a plane regularly and 17% said they might be tempted, but only if they were delayed.
