Is it possible to use the personal hotspot on my phone while in airplane mode?

I have the Personal Hotspot on my phone and was wondering if while in the air (when my phone is on Airplane Mode) I could use it for wifi for my MacBook Pro.


Thanks!

No. In Airplane mode, all iPhone radios are off, & Personal Hotspot REQUIRES a cellular data connection in order to setup the Personal Hotspot.
