Isn't it obvious? It's for when you're traveling on an airplane, duh! I don't use that mode any other time.
shareIt blocks all incoming calls and text messages while on a cruise ship to avoid a ton of roaming charges.
shareYour cellphone electromagnetic signal can interfere with the plane's instruments.
shareActually it doesn't. just like it can't effect a gas pump.
But travelling on airplane will drain your phone faster as it bounces from tower to tower.
I get the impression you and your cellphone will cause a plane crash one day:

My friend, who is a pilot for Virgin Atlantic tells me that, “it’s bloody annoying when passengers don’t do it, especially on take off and landing.”

shareI learned that airplane mode saves you a ton of battery, like, really A LOT! I had a 70% charge after a whole day of shooting photos and videos in Mexico.
It's also great to stop people from bugging you.
