Can someone tell me which airlines offer the inflight tracking screen? I am traveling from Florida to Honolulu in June. Needless to say, I am very
uncomfortable. I think, seeing the plane on a screen where I can see the progress of the flight will help me. Sometimes I feel I am just up there lost and
just wondering if we will ever get to the destination. The inflight tracker will just ease one of my concerns. Also, I think I want to schedule one of my
flights overnight (redeye). I am usually very nervous to fly at night. But I'm thinking it may be calmer weather at night over the summer. The longest
flight I've ever been on is approx 3 1/2 hrs. I don't know how I am going to handle an 8 hr flight.

Frontier, Jet Blue.. in Economy..( those won't help you with a Hawaii flight) I think in some of the bigger airlines you need to be in First class to get
that service. Go to each airline you are considering and check on in flight amminities or entertainment.

It all depends on the airline and the type of aircraft being flown.

Note from Capt. Tom I know everyone worries about weather, but pilots really do not worry about it. We simply - instead of worrying about it - completely prepare for it. Before going to the plane, we review the weather at the destination. If it is not 100% sure to be within legal limits when we arrive at the destination, we must specify an alternate airport in our planning documents, and load on plenty of fuel for going to the destination airport, and then if need be, diverting to the alternate airport. The legal limits are conservative. Even when weather is slightly outside the legal limits, any airline pilot could still land safely. You can rely on the captain never to land when the weather is not legal, and legality limits are reached prior to safety limits. If you are still anxious, call me and we can talk it over. I'm at 877 332-7359 from 10 AM until 7 PM Eastern time. For effective help, even if you are flying in a day or two, sign up now at www.fearofflying.com/fasttrack and call me when you finish Clip 9 so I can make sure you are all set. |

Using Weather Information If you enter your ZIP Code or City at the top of the weather presentation, it will give you weather for your area. Or, you can enter your destination ZIP Code or City.
Click on the "LOCAL RADAR" button to see whether or not there are thunder- Turbulence, though it may cause anxiety, does not mean anything is wrong. Turbulence does not mean danger. The plane can handle far more turbulence than Mother Nature can dish out. Though flying in turbulence is safe, it doesn't feel safe. And here is where the SOAR programs come in. We can help you feel as safe when you fly as you actually are. You can see these programs at www.fearofflying.com/store. |
