If you're blasting TikTok videos out loud on your next United Airlines flight, think again — you might receive a permanent ban from the Chicago-based airline.
Long considered proper etiquette to wear headphones during a flight, United has now made it a requirement. As reported by CBS News, United quietly updated its contract of carriage on Feb. 27 to include "passengers who fail to use headphones while listening to audio or video content" as a reason for refusal of transport, with the potential for a permanent ban from the airline.
United confirmed the change in an email to USA TODAY, adding that its Wi-Fi rules have already encouraged passengers to use headphones on flights. "With the expansion of Starlink, it seemed like a good time to make that even clearer by adding it to the contract of carriage," the airline said in a statement.
