There is a cell phone ban, but do not panic!

Close on the heels of banning laptops in airlines flying from the Middle Eastern countries, Turkey and Morocco, the US is bringing about another ban – this time on the mobile phones. This announcement has made travellers across the region go into a distressed mode. Fret not, there are alternatives to keep yourself entertained.

Here are our suggestions:

1. Be smart and book a ticket on a flight that has in-flight entertainment.

2. Use your flier miles to upgrade. This is sure to make your journey comfortable.

3. Carry a gripping novel that you cannot put down. You will not realise the hours flying by.

4. Catch up on your sleep. You can be well-rested on your holiday. Carry your travel gear including neck pillows, eye masks, earplugs, and noise-cancelling headphones. This will ensure that you get a sound sleep.

5. Make conversation with fellow passengers. Try it, you may end up enjoying it.

P.S. - Just kidding. This is an April Fool's prank to fool you!
