You agree to their terms and conditions when you purchase a ticket.

An aircraft is not deemed "a public place", it is private property, just like a shopping centre. Many people mistakenly believe this is "public" and therefor they can record video but that is not the case.

However it is a moot point.

The airlines would be in a really tricky spot to punish this as they would hapiliy share scenes that are filmed of the airline doing good, however horrendously cringey "funny/cute" PAs or worse... Any video of Phil Shaw of GB/EZY fame..... are, the airlines are more than happy to publish them over social media for the fre advertising... They can't have it both ways
