I don't expect the average pax to be this aware, but I'd like to think most FTers would be.
It's not something I have been doing up to now but certainly would like to. Even though I think of myself as a FTer, I didn't know this strategy for tracking the flight until this thread or that flightaware is whitelisted. Is that how you monitor the flight path on your device without having to connect to WiFi? Or do you have a different approach?
