Your report about magnets in airplane tables is not an urban legend
(Feedback, 7 March)
(Letters, 28 March, p 64).
In the Alitalia Douglas Super 90 I am flying on from Rome to Munich, the
fold-out table of the first row of Business Class has two magnets in the table
strong enough to make a coffee spoon stand up. I don’t know if this field can
overcome the shielding of the hard drive of my laptop, but don’t intend to find
out, so I am typing on my lap.
