Do cell phones work while on a plane?
Electromagnetic interference to aircraft systems is the most common argument put forth for banning passenger electronic devices on planes
When a base station connects to a cell phone, it can communicate to the phone that it should increase the strength of its transmission if it recognises that the phone signal is hard to detect. Phones in aircraft are so far from the ground that they will power up for this reason. This increases the chance of interference to the aircraft's navigation system, especially if there are many phones operating on the plane at the same time.
However, new technology using pico cells forces the phones to connect to an onboard base station (which then transmits to the terrestrial network via satellite) and the phones only need to use minimum power to do this. If a pico cell system is operating it is safe to use a cell phone and several airlines (particularly in Europe) are now offering in-flight mobile communications.

How long is the flight time from Kuwait to Seattle?
I booked United to Seattle this year: There are 2 available routes 1) Kuwait-Frankfurt-Seattle (Lufthansa-United Code share) 2) Kuwait-Washington D.C.-Seattle Kuwait-Frankfurt...approximately 7 hours Frankfurt-Seattle.....approximately 9 hours Kuwait- Washington D.C....approximately 14 hours Washington D.C.- Seattle....approximately a little under 6 hours You will need to add waiting/transit/immigration/customs times on the ground. Delta is beginning direct Kuwait Atlanta flights in November 2008....I guess those flight times should be similar to those of United's Kuwait -Washington D.C. route

How much wine can you take into Utah by plane?
It doesn't matter as long as the people whining are either infants, or elderly people who need immediate medical attention.
Umm, I don't think the question means whine, it means wine, as in the drink! To answer your question, I don't think any alcoholic beverages are allowed. Maybe you can take some on the bags that are not in the passenger compartment of the plane? Ask the airport security.
Yeah, I think I know that kind sir. (By the way, you can bring as many two ounce bottles as you want, but I strongly suggest not to. You'll kill the hippo in your brain.)
Maximum speed: Mach 2.04 (≈1,354 mph, 2,179 km/h) at cruise altitude
Cruise speed: Mach 2.02 (≈1,340 mph, 2,158 km/h) at cruise altitude
Commercial airliners are pressurized for high altitude flight; in an emergency where the aircraft loses cabin pressure, oxygen masks are deployed so that passengers can breathe normally in the low cabin pressure until the aircraft makes an emergency landing.
The oxygen masks may also drop during extremly rough landings or severe turbulence, this is because the panel may become loose.
