behaviour on others. We have a zero-tolerance policy to any abusive, disruptive or offensive behaviour
and we will take further action, including reporting such crimes to the police.

and consuming your own previously-purchased alcohol is not permitted on the aircraft.

SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Safety equipment is carried on board this aircraft for the benefit of all passengers. It is an offence to

HAND BAGGAGE
Please ensure that your hand baggage is stowed under the seat in front of you (unless you are seated in

FLYBE’S PORTABLE
ELECTRONIC
DEVICE POLICY
What portable electronic
devices can I use on board
the aircraft?
On flights operated by Eastern Airways, Stobart
Air and Blue Islands, please adhere to the advice
from the cabin attendant regarding usage.
HANDHELD DEVICES WITH ‘FLIGHT SAFE’ MODE
Handheld devices, such as tablets, e-readers and mobile
phones may be used during all phases of the flight,
provided the ‘flight safe’ mode is enabled before
departure. Devices must be safely secured in the hand
or a pocket during taxi, take-off and landing.
ANY DEVICE THAT TRANSMITS OR RECEIVES
communications, but does not have a ‘flight safe’ mode,
must be switched off from doors closed to doors open.
LAPTOPS, ULTRA-BOOKS AND NOTEBOOKS
These devices may be used during boarding but not
for taxi, take-off and landing. They may be used in flight,
provided any built-in connectivity such as Wi-Fi is
switched off or set to ‘flight safe’ mode. They must be
stowed away safely during taxi, take-off and landing.
DEVICES WITHOUT A FLIGHT SAFE MODE
This will include items such as DVD players, electronic
games, and music players. Only small, handheld devices
may be used during taxi, take-off and landing. Larger
devices must be switched off and stowed away safely
during taxi, take-off and landing.
BLUETOOTH ACCESSORIES
All Bluetooth accessories (for example, wireless
keyboards, headphones, etc.) must be switched off
from doors closed to doors open.
Are there times when I cannot use my
handheld devices?
Under certain circumstances your flight or cabin crew
will ask that all electronic devices be switched off, for
example, during re-fuel operations. This will be
announced over the PA.
What about headphones?
Personal headphones can now be used for some stages of
flight and may be attached to your personal device. We
ask that customers remove their headphones whenever
the seat-belt signs are illuminated during the taxi, take-off
and landing phases and during the safety demonstration.
Can I charge my device using a remote
power pack?
Flybe does not allow passengers to charge their devices
whilst on board our aircraft.
Am I allowed to take photographs during
the flight?
The use of cameras on board is permitted unless the
cabin crew ask you not to.
Need more information? Please ask your crew once on
board who will be happy to help.
Your cabin crew on the flight today are there primarily to ensure
your safety is not compromised in any way. Please pay attention
to their instructions and the in-flight briefing. We strive to ensure
you will never need to use this information, but it remains
important. Any feedback about the flight is welcome.
CABIN BAGGAGE POLICY
Getting you to your destination safely and on time is our priority, which is why we are now enforcing
our cabin baggage policy.

convenience of all passengers onboard.
