Qantas announces major change to mobile phone rules on flights
Qantas has tightened the rules around photographing and filming on its flights in strict new conditions introduced by the airline last month.
Passengers will now need consent to film or photograph other airline passengers and staff on board Qantas flights after the airline updated its Conditions of Carriage on November 8.

Under section 12 of “Conduct During Flight” passengers must “seek consent before filming or photographing Qantas Group staff, contractors or other customers”.
This is believed to have been introduced in an effort to protect passengers and staff from ending up in videos on social media.
Earlier this week, a video surfaced online of a fight breaking out between passengers on a Qantas flight bound for the Northern Territory.
A number of people praised Qantas for the move.
“It really bugs me how many people film everything lately. Especially other people’s misfortunes just so they can be first to post it on their preferred social media platform,” one wrote on website Australian Frequent Flyer.
“Finally, what a great move,” another said.
“I totally agree with this decision. I always feel annoyed for other passengers who are clearly not happy to be filmed,” a third added.
