✈️Banding Laptops on Airplanes? - USA ✈️

IALT: reflect about an article which states how in USA they are thinking about banding all laptops on airplanes.

Apparently the US is considering banning laptops from aircraft cabins on all flights in and out of the country. Crazy right? This move is part of an increase in airport and plane security. According to the article in March  this year , the US government introduced restrictions on large electronic devices in aircraft cabins on flights from 10 airports, including the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Turkey. Airlines are concerned that banding laptops may erode customer demand. But luckily in New Zealand people are able to travel with laptops without it being banned and taken off them. So now the US Government is really considering to ban laptops from being on any sort of Aircraft cabins, and have a huge chance/risk of losing a lot of customers?
What would you do? & Would you ban laptops even though there was a huge chance, and risk you would loose a lot of customers?!

✈️️The Airport Reflection ✈️️

IALT: reflect on what I did today

Today I left the school grounds at 12.00PM, but with permission of course! Amon, and myself left in order for us to catch my mother's flight to Tonga! My mother, grandmother, and my uncle were leaving to Tonga for my Grandpa's only real sisters funeral. Because she died in Tonga, her final service will be performed and she will then we burried in Tonga! They say her death was very unfortunate, they had taken to the hospital, and that very night, as she was lying on the hospital bed, she slowly passed! It was very sad news to hear about her death, but we were able to bear through! Although her actual funeral was in Tonga, family in New Zealand gathered, if they could and prayed for her to be in a much safer, and happier place. We attended her service of course, and we sand a few verse's from the him, and then the priest of the day (Sione Polo), performed a prayer on behalf of everyone. After the family service there were refreshments,
  • Fizzy Drinks
  • Tea/Coffee/Milo
  • Bread
  • Biscuits

  • And much more! Straight after that we came home and organised for my mother to jump and fly to Tonga today (thursday), and stay in Tonga for a week, which means she will be returning next Thursday (18th March). 
We arrived at the airport, organising all my mother's, my grandmother's, and my uncles bags, with their suitcases, passports, and also tickets. We sat around for at 15 minutes, then there plane was called.. We said our farewells, and tears were also seen, espically from my brother Amon! He didn't want for mother to leave him behind, but in the end he was able to manage! She left on her adventure, and on her way to Tonga, with my Grandmother & Uncle.

I found it hard to let my mum go, but I understood why she had left! At the same time, I was able to wish her safe travels, and happy travels though!

I wish I could've gone!
