as you board the aircraft.Cell Phones
We know how important it is for you to keep in touch with family, friends and business associates while traveling, so we're pleased to be the first airline to offer increased "talk time" on the ground. On all departing flights worldwide,you may use your cell phone, laptop computer, two-way pager and PDA until the aircraft door is closed. Upon arrival on most fleet types* with American Airlines, American Eagle and AmericanConnection, you may use your cell phone during taxi-in as signaled by a flight attendant announcement. Use of cell phones is not allowed during flight per Federal Communication Commission rules.
*The new arrival policy applies to flights arriving in the United States, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. This policy is not available on American Eagle turboprops.
Electronic Equipment/Personal Devices
All portable electronic devices must remain off and properly stowed during taxi, takeoff, approach and landing until the plane is at the gate and the seat belt sign is off. Cell phones may be used on certain aircraft after landing in the U.S., the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, once authorized by a flight attendant. Your flight attendant will tell you when you may use approved portable electronic devices in-flight. Devices with transmitting capabilities may only be used if the transmit capability is turned off and can be verified by a flight attendant (example: combination cell phone/PDA devices or laptop computers with wireless capabilities). Note that wifi (802.11) devices may be used on aircraft equipped with our inflight internet service when authorized. To learn more see availability and policies or refer to American Way Magazine onboard.
During flight, never use cell phones (to make or receive calls), two-way pagers, radios, TV sets, remote controls (example: DVD, CD, game, or toy remote controls), a cordless computer mouse, commercial TV or cameras. Radio transmission using personal communications devices (example: walkie-talkies, two-way pagers, or wireless headphones) is prohibited, as it may interfere with the aircraft's communications and navigation systems. Devices that are not allowed to be activated at any time are those, including e-cigarettes, that could cause damage to equipment or diminish the design, function, or capability of the aircraft.
You may use audio and video devices only with a headset. Use of still and video cameras, film or digital, is permitted only for recording personal events. Photography or video recording of airline personnel, equipment, or procedures is strictly prohibited.*
Note: Hearing aids, cochlear implants, heart pacemakers, or approved medical devices such as ventilators and respirators are accepted during all phases of flight.
*The electronic device policy may vary on American Eagle and AmericanConnection. Please see a flight attendant for specifics.
