Jodi Fleisig, who lives in Atlanta with her husband and two boys, ages 11 and 9, welcomed the change. "It's great when you have kids, because you can get them settled in and settled down,alligator shear and it makes a huge difference in the quality of the flight," she said. "They can play games on their iPads, or they can read or watch a movie."Ms. Fleisig, a senior vice president at Porter Novelli, a public relations firm, added that "As a business traveler, I'm in the air a lot, and the fact that I can sit down and start working right away and get incredible amounts of work done is a lifesaver."Mr. Huerta stressed that passengers would be told to turn off their electronics when the flight attendants gave preflight safety briefings about what to do in an emergency, and that the airlines would have to develop new rules about stowing electronics during takeoff and landing.

While flight attendants have no effective way to determine whether a cellphone or tablet is really in airplane mode during flight, Mr. Huerta said, "There's no safety problem if they're not, but you're going to arrive at your destination with a dead battery," because the device would continue looking for a cell connection alligator shear and would not find it.Mr. Huerta also noted that change would not be universal. "In some instances of low visibility, 1 percent of flights, some landing systems may not be proven to tolerate the interference," he said. "In those cases, passengers may be asked to turn off personal electronic devices."

Mr. Huerta said the airlines had favored the change, to "enhance the customer experience," but that they did not have a uniform position. The industry's main trade association, Airlines for America, supported the decision in a statement.Senator Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat who had pressed for the change, praised the announcement as well. "This is great news for the traveling public," she said in a statement, "skin analyzer and frankly, a win for common sense."The president of the Association of Flight Attendants, Veda Shook, said the change was "welcome news."
