When may I use my cellphone on an American Airlines flight?
On all departing flights worldwide, you may use your cell phone, laptop computer, two-way pager and PDA until the aircraft door is closed. Upon arrival on most fleet types* with American Airlines, American Eagle and AmericanConnection, you may use your cell phone during taxi-in as signaled by a flight attendant announcement. Use of cell phones is not allowed during flight per Federal Communication Commission rules. *The arrival policy applies to flights arriving in the United States, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. This policy is not available on American Eagle turboprops.
