Turn on Airplane Mode with Siri

Quick answer

"Turn on Airplane Mode" and Siri switches it on, cutting cellular and Wi-Fi. Note the catch: once Airplane Mode is on, Siri needs a connection to take voice commands, so it can't turn itself back off. Use Control Center to disable it. Handy on the way into a flight.

Say this

If Siri doesn't get it

Siri can't disable Airplane Mode by voice because it cuts the connection Siri relies on. Turn it off manually in Control Center.
