Anyone know if grandson can take his DS on the plane? as in hand luggage?

Of course he can take it but you will get instructions about when you can and can't use it...

And keep the volume low (or even off if possible)

What is a DS?

Nintendo DS - a small hand held games gadget. I've got one complete with a couple of "brain training" cards that slot into them. Not that the brain training does much good...
It appeals to a wide age range as you can get literally hundreds of games etc for them

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_DS

thanks all..and eys I am sure if the stewardess ask his to turn it off etc he will!! do as he is told...not like when grandma asks him!!! lol...

Oh! Does that mean I could take a wifit+,if I had one?Q

That could be interesting!

Just imagine ' air hostess demonstrating emergency procedures in wifit board'!

You can play games on your phone on the plane, as long as you have it in airplane mode, so I don't think there's a problem with a DS. As far as I remember, you are asked to turn off electronic devices during take-off and landing.

That's right Annobel

The only other thing I would suggest is that it is put into one of those trays ...as you would any electronic item and not leave it in his backpck to go through the screening process

He will be told to take any electrical/electronic devices out of his hand luggage and put them in a separate tray for screening.
