United Airlines has taken a firm stand on in-flight device usage by implementing a new rule: passengers must use headphones when listening to audio or video content. This policy, aimed at ensuring a peaceful cabin environment, prevents shared noise from electronic devices.

On February 27, United revised its contract of carriage to formalize this requirement, as initially reported by CBS News. A United spokesperson confirmed the update, emphasizing the airline’s longstanding encouragement for headphone use.

“We’ve always promoted the use of headphones for audio content,” a United representative stated in an email to Nexstar. Their existing Wi-Fi policies already advise passengers to use headphones during their flights.
