3/29 HKG-ORD UA896 off initially, but asked after lift-off and it was turned on for the rest of the 13-hour flight ^^^ - including the Pacific crossing when you get to listen to 123.45, where aircraft chat with each other (usually about ride quality, but sometimes not ). It was especially good to have it on when we went through a 90-minute period of continuous moderate turbulence, as did aircraft along nearby altitudes and tracks. I sent the captain a business card with a thank-you note

3/29 ORD-BOS UA882 On, with announcement ^^^
