I hate almost everything about air travel, but to me one "perk" is the fact I'm unplugged from the internet for a few hours. I am really not looking forward to the time when the person sitting next to me is on a phone call and chatting extra loud because they're on a plane.

Well taking video calls has never been allowed and WiFi has already been available for a nominal fee so you likely won’t see anything change.

Meanwhile Europe is legalizing phone calls on flights for real, so you have that to look forward to.

Video calls are not allowed on planes, but I share your sentiment. Hope it remains that way.
