MP3 Player on Plane...I hope I put this on the right forum...

[Nellas Elensar]

Hi, everyone.

In May, my parents and I will be heading down to Florida for a Orlando/Tampa trip. I am thinking of bringing my MP3 player with me on the plane. I need your advice as to whether it's allowed or not...here are some pictures.

This is my MP3 player in its case.

This is my MP3 player out of its case.

Here is the front view of my memory card.

Here is the back view of my memory card.

Do you think the memory card will be damaged in any way if it's in the mp3 player? Would I be better off transferring some songs directly into the player for the week and leaving the memory card home? Any feedback would be appreciated. TIA.

Yes it is allowed. I used my IPOD with no problems. The flight attendents will tell you went it is OK to use electronics and when to turn them off.

I've travelled many times with my MP3 player (plus a laptop, PSP and loads of memory) to use during flights and it's been fine, many people have them tucked into their carry ons. They do ask you to turn off all electronics when they take off and touch down but that's about it.

I take mine on the plane to Disneyland every trip. No problems with it at all. There's no way it can cause a problem with the plane so you're ok with it.

You will indeed be allowed to bring your MP3 player on the plane. You won't be allowed to use it until the plane reaches 10,000 feet (they will make an anouncement then) and will have to turn it off on decent (another anouncement) but otherwise no problems with an MP3 player.

Now you just have to watch out for those iPod police. They can be hard on people that think other MP3 players are as good as an iPod.
