I share my travel experiences here at OMAAT, including flight reviews and airport lounge reviews. I often get reader questions about the logistics of picture taking, and am asked if I ever run into issues.
In this post, I’d like to step back a bit and look at the big picture — is taking pictures on airplanes and airports allowed, and are there any restrictions? It’s complicated, so let me share my experience.
First of all, it’s common for airlines to have rules against photographing other people without their consent. In other words, you typically can’t just start snapping pictures of strangers. Now, admittedly there’s always a grey area here. Like, if you’re taking a selfie on a plane, odds are that someone else may also appear in the picture, in some form. You’re unlikely to have issues there.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
