Lets keep the thread on topic, please, folks. The question is about Gameboy and other electronic device use on planes, and we are always told the simple rule is that hand-held gaming devices, laptops, mp3 players and DVD players can all be used once the plane has gained sufficient altitude (which will usually be announced on the PA system). They cannot be used during takeoff and once the landing descent has started. Devices like mobile phones cannot be used at any time.

We took Nintendo DS and PSP onboard Iceland Air you just can’t use it during take off and landing, plus taxing to the runway. Also cannot use the wireless functions that these 2 devices have, so if the kids have them tell them they can’t do the chat or play head-to-head via the devices.

By the way Iceland Air have these portable media player things with 8 movies, bunch of TV programs, music and music videos programmed in along with giving you 2 headsets if you want. Costs $15 for the whole trip, and we rented 2 of these and was great as you could watch the movies as you liked.
