No headphones, no boarding?
The other day, I was driving my friend to the airport. Right before we got there, he suddenly said, “Oh no, I forgot my headphones.”
I said, “It’s okay. Not having headphones won’t stop you from getting on the plane.”
But he said, “No, apparently there’s a new rule now. If you listen to music or watch videos on the plane without headphones, you might not even be allowed to board.”
I was surprised. I said, “Really? There’s a rule like that now?”
He said, “Yeah, it was in the news yesterday.”
Then I thought about it and said, “Honestly, that sounds pretty good. Some people play music or videos out loud on planes, and it’s really annoying.”
But he still looked a little annoyed. He said, “Yeah, but wearing headphones on a long flight can be uncomfortable too. I guess I really need to keep a pair with me from now on.”
