Headphone requirement on board: United tightens rules — what travelers to Palma should know

Answer

Why are airlines asking passengers to wear headphones on board?

On routes to Mallorca, that can matter even more because cabins are often full of holidaymakers, families, and early departures. A clear headphone rule is meant to make the shared space calmer and more predictable.
