Some people worry that Bluetooth will make the plane’s radio go haywire. Let’s be real: the plane’s systems are tougher than a toddler’s broccoli shield. Even if your headphones hiccup, the pilots won’t suddenly shout, “We’re losing left engine!”
You might get slight audio cutouts if you’re seated near the plane’s antenna, but that’s like complaining about a single raindrop during a storm. It’s not worth worrying about. Remember: your headphones use less power than a microwave does for one pop of a popcorn kernel.
The Lonely Exception: International Flights
Some older international airlines (looking at you, certain Asian and European carriers) still cling to strict rules. They might ask you to keep your Bluetooth off during takeoff and landing, just to be safe. Boo. But even then, you can usually turn them on once you reach cruising altitude.
The easiest hack? Check the airline’s website before you fly. Or just ask a flight attendant with a big, innocent smile. They’ve heard the question a thousand times, and they’ll likely wink and say, “Go ahead, just keep them in pairing mode after the seatbelt sign is off.”
