THERE are times during a flight when passengers know they shouldn't use their phones. <\/p>\n
Making calls and sending texts aren't permitted once the plane has taken off but there are other phone functions that could now get passengers in trouble.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Some airlines have put a new line in its "conditions of carriage" – the code of conduct passengers agree to whenever they purchase flights – banning the taking of photos and filming people without permission.<\/p>\n
Australian carrier Qantas has now told people that they have to ask before filming of photographing flight attendants or other passengers.<\/p>\n
It reads:\u00a0"Seek consent before filming or photographing Qantas Group staff, contractors or other customers."<\/p>\n
It isn't clear what the punishment would be, but it is likely that passengers would be politely asked to stop.<\/p>\n
Qantas is the latest airline to add a specific line about such phone use into their conditions of carriage, but others have got similar lines in there too.<\/p>\n In fact, airlines in America have had similar rules in place for years now.<\/p>\n American Airlines,\u00a0Delta, and United\u00a0all state that passengers have to seek consent before taking pictures of anyone on board.<\/p>\n In 2013 a passenger was kicked off a United flight for failing to do just that.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The airline said at the time: "Separately, we welcome customers to record their personal experiences on board provided they don't take photos or videos of customers and crew members without their consent.<\/p>\n "This is both a security and service measure we take that also respects the privacy of other customers. United's policy was implemented in 2010."<\/p>\n However, the rules have made their way over to the UK too, with Ryanair joining in with the regulations.<\/p>\n They also state that people must seek permission when taking photos in the airport.<\/p>\n Their rules read:\u00a0"Recording or photographing our personnel, whether at the airport or onboard the plane, without their consent is strictly prohibited. <\/p>\n "Only recordings or photographs personal to You may be permitted."<\/p>\n Elsewhere, Virgin Atlantic's rules prohibit "the taking of photographs or videos of ground staff, crew or passengers".<\/p>\n Airline staff are within their rights to prevent people from boarding their flight if they're caught breaking these rules.<\/p>\n Continued rule breaking could result in names being added to no-fly lists, meaning those passengers won't be allowed to fly with those airlines again.<\/p>\n Taking photos in certain areas of airports could also land passengers in trouble.<\/p>\n The security area and the tarmac are two areas in particular where people are told to put their phones away. <\/p>\n This is to prevent photos of airline security or general operations getting out into the public.<\/p>\n Doug Drury is Head of Aviation at CQUniversity in\u00a0Australia.<\/p>\n He told\u00a0Stuff NZ: "Such restrictions are carryovers from the changes to airport security following the\u00a0September 11 2001 terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n "Security teams change their processes frequently to prevent having any identifiable patterns that could be used to create a security breach."<\/p>\n Meanwhile, these are three rules passengers should follow when on board planes.<\/p>\n And this major hand luggage rule change is coming into force at airports next year.<\/p>\n<\/picture>HUSH UP <\/span><\/p>\n
