A FLYING expert has revealed how using headphones during a flight could land passengers in big trouble. <\/p>\n
While headphones\u00a0make it easier than ever before to stay entertained on planes, they could also get you into serious trouble.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The trouble arises when passengers use their headphones during safety briefings. <\/p>\n
Safety briefings are given by flight attendants when the plane is heading to the runway. <\/p>\n
Flight attendants can ask passengers to remove their headphones when they're issuing these safety instructions.<\/p>\n
Those passengers who refuse to remove their headphones when requested could face being fined. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fines of up to \u00a35,000 are issued to passengers who disrupt or delay a flight before it's left the tarmac.<\/p>\n
On its website, the Civil Aviation Authority includes "disobeying safety or security instructions" as disruptive behaviour. <\/p>\n
Operations Manager at\u00a0FlyDays.co.uk, Dan Jones, said: "Most of us reach for the headphones straight away when we get on board. <\/p>\n
"But it is essential that for each flight, you wait until after the safety instructions have been given before reaching for them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Everyone wants a safe flight without unessential disruptions."<\/p>\n Meanwhile, drunk passengers could\u00a0find themselves owing up to \u00a35,000 and jailed for up to two years.<\/p>\n If their antics are so disruptive to the flight that it's forced to divert the troublemakers could be slapped with a fine of up to \u00a380,000.<\/p>\n A team of travel experts has also revealed why passengers shouldn't use their Airpods, or other in-ear headphones, during a flight. <\/p>\n In a recent video, TikTok user Adventure Buddies (@theadventurebuddies)\u00a0claimed that it's too easy to either lose or damage AirPods during flights.<\/p>\n Instead, they recommend wearing over-ear headphones, which they say offer several advantages, including noise cancellation features and comfort.<\/p>\n Meanwhile,\u00a0this clever device\u00a0means that passengers no longer have to rely on plane headphones to watch films.<\/p>\n And travellers<\/span> have also praised this\u00a0"must-have"\u00a0\u00a312.99 item.<\/p>\nTravel chaos as holidaymakers at UK airports forced to wait in long queues<\/h3>\n
