When you put your tray table up, it clears your space for takeoff and landing. This helps the flight attendants make sure everyone can evacuate quickly if needed.
An open tray during turbulence is like a mini missile. Your food, drinks or even the tray itself can hit someone during sudden movements.

A clear tray table ensures you can quickly buckle your seatbelt, access safety instructions, and follow crew directions without any delays.
Flight attendants need room to move around safely with carts and in emergencies. Open trays can block aisles or slow them down.
Laptops, tablets and phones are much safer stowed securely away, as turbulence can easily turn them into dangerous flying hazards otherwise.
