Hollywood actor blasts airplane mode as 'nonsense' in hilarious podcast flight rant

Actor Paul Rudd sparked a lighthearted debate about airline etiquette after calling airplane mode "nonsense" during a recent podcast appearance.

Rudd made the comments during an appearance on the May 28 episode of Jake Shane’s podcast, "Therapuss."

During a conversation about common airline rules, Rudd questioned several instructions passengers are routinely given before takeoff and landing, including putting tray tables away, returning seats to the upright position and switching phones to airplane mode.
