“The flight map isn’t the least entertaining thing on a plane—it’s the most…
While numbers fluctuate depending on region and route, industry data holds that 70 percent of passengers use their seat’s IFE during a flight. Of those, about half shun movies, TV, and games in order to watch the map.”
Need to also consider that depending on the airline the movies/TV/games may not be free, or if they’re not free you need wired headphones to enjoy them - which is problematic as less phones support them and consumers switch to wireless by default. So you either pay $10-20 for a shitty pair of wired buds that you won’t use again, or you just ignore it and leave it on the default - the flight tracker.
Yeah. Put the tracker on the screen and use your own device or book. It’s not like 70% of passengers are glued to the map.
The airline I use is all inclusive but people are still glued to the map and VR view
Ok I thought it was just me who liked to ‘play’ realtime flight sim with nothing but camera controls.
I only watch in-flight movies if I have an empty seat next to me whose screen I can set to the map.
