Why trust GreenbotTraveling can be stressful. ckily, you’re not alone: you have your phone to keep you company! (Oh, uh, your traveling companions, the 500 other people crammed on a plane with you, too.)
But sometimes traveling with your phone is even more stressful than traveling without it.
ll you have enough battery life? Do you have time to download this app before the flight takes off? Is this airport really crowded, or are you just really bad at texting walking? Here’s what it’s like to fly with your smartphone—good bad.

ll there be an outlet on the plane? obably not.
Stop texting me, mom! You’re wasting my precious in-flight entertainment minutes! (And yes, I remembered to pack my toothbrush.)
