Same deal when I flew United the past weekend. Samsung Note 7s were not allowed to be turned on or charged on the plane. I think they are taking their cue from the FAA recommendation [0].

This is especially bad for Samsung, I think, because it doesn't just affect folks with a Note 7 -- everyone waiting at the gate hears the announcement. Talk about negative brand associations.
