I'm going on a trip soon and was wondering if we are allowed to take cd players and mp3 players on an airplane? TSA website did not address this directly as far as I could tell. Anywhere I can call? The airline maybe?

You can take MP3s and CD players on a plane. Just don't listen to them during take off. The radio transmisson waves/ radar will interfer with the the device and the other way around too. They will announce when you will be able to use your portable electronics once you are high enough in the air.

Yes, you can take CD and mp3 players, and also laptops and portable DVD players. The laptop you have to turn on and show at the security checkpoint, the others you don't. They won't allow you to use them during take off and landing, but they will make an announcement during the flight when they can be used.

On most airlines you can take mp3 players/ cd players....as far as I know. But maybe it is best to check with the airline first by phoning! Have a good trip! :)

you can bring those items on an airplane. you are not allowed to listen them during take off and when you land. your flight attendant or the pilot will tell you when it is acceptable to use "approved electronic equipment" which includes said cd player and mp3 player

I'm glad it ignores you. I was going to also, but I thought I would answer the question. Some electronic devices do interfere with the signals going to the electronically operated controls of the aircraft. It is also ,as someone else said, a safety issue. You need to be aware of what is happening especially during takeoff and landing. It is a minor inconvenience....get over it.

Yes. They must work to get through security (dead ones might have explosive inside) and they must be turned off when the pilot says - usually at takeoff and landing. Check with the airline.

yes you just can have it turned on during take off and landing because it might screw up with the communications.
