DELTA PASSENGERS ALLOWED TO USE ELECTRONIC DEVICES THROUGHOUT FLIGHTS

Delta said that the Federal Aviation Administration approved its plan for the use of personal electronic devices under 10,000 feet. Delta customers can do so immediately, the airline said on Twitter. Devices must weigh under 2 pounds and stow easily in seatback pockets. The FAA said that airlines could allow the use of personal electronic devices from gate to gate, including during takeoffs and landings, once airlines establish that aircraft operations won't be affected by the devices. The FAA also has to approve airline revisions of fleet manuals, safety announcements and training.
