DEAR PASSENGER
For your added comfort and safety we would like to bring a
few points to your attention. First of all we ask you to listen
carefully to the safety instructions provided by the crew and
take a look at the printed safety card in your seat pocket.
Please fasten your seatbelt securely during take-off and land-
ing and close the folding table in front of you.We recommend
that you keep your seatbelt fastened throughout the flight.
Hand luggage should be under the seat or stored in the over-
head compartments. Please be careful when you open the
compartments during or after the flight as the luggage may
have shifted.Due to limited space in the cabin we might need
to store a part of the hand luggage in the luggage compart-
ment.
We are very pleased to be the first European flag carrier to go
smoke-free. This is in response to overwhelming customer
preference.We hope that you enjoy the clean air on board!
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
The use of portable telephones, walkie-talkies, remote-
controlled toys and other devices specifically designed to
transmit radio signals is strictly forbidden at all times as radio
waves could affect the very sensitive navigation equipment
and digital computers used in modern aircraft. The use of
portable tape recorders, CD players, lap-top computers,
video cameras and electronic games is limited to the cruis-
ing phase of the flight and forbidden during take-off and
climb as well as descent and landing phases of the flight.
Please show consideration for your fellow passengers and
only use these devices with earphones, and switch off the
sound effects of computer games.The use of heart pacemak-
ers, hearing aids and other devices required for medical
reasons is of course not restricted.
FOR YOUR COMFORT
For added comfort we offer pillows and blankets for passen-
gers on all flights. On intercontinental flights Saga Business
Class passengers receive a kit containing slumber shades,
socks, earplugs and several other amenities for in-flight com-
fort.
Above each seat is a reading light switch, and a call button for
use if there is anything you require. Ear blockage may be
experienced during take-off and landing.Yawning or swal-
lowing usually cures it.We carry a small supply of medicines
on board which may help with minor ailments.

with the aim of making your in-flight meal a pleasure. Should
you have special requirements please let us know at least 24
