Why you should always turn on the "Flight Mode" on a plane 

The pilot of the popular airline has warned that "Flight Mode" is a vital safety measure, which, if ignored, can cause significant problems in communication between crew members.

The fact is that mobile devices that are not turned on to Flight Mode can emit signals that interfere with pilots' headphones. 

"Even if just a few passengers leave their phones on, those signals can create radio interference, sounding like a mosquito in the ear, while we're communicating with air traffic control," the pilot said.

As a reminder, the travel expert shared some tips to help you save on plane tickets. The tourist also told us where the world's most delicious dessert is made in Italy.
