Last flight I was on had a no electronics at all rule
A person was told they couldn’t have their kindle out during the flight
fucking hell, I'd think about leaving because having to survive the rabid child always behind me, that guy over there coughing the entire flight, that lady next to me who immediately started snoring, and the bi hourly "buy our perfume" plane wide adnnouncements would be hell without headphones
Simple. Bring a record player. Spin it by hand.
Get yourself a Wind-up Victrola
The one kicking the seat got to me on my last flight.
The plan was to inform the parent I used to be infantry and I was gonna start teaching his kid some new words if his kid didnt respect the airplane. But he clued in just in time.
Name and shame the airline.
I fly a lot for work, internationally most of the time. Haven't seen this in many years.
Air Canada - pre-covid though so that might be your many years
I flew many times with different airlines before that without this issue
