Does Airshow work on the ground? I was on an El Al flight and Airshow worked the enitre flight. Does Frontier have cameras that come on during take off and landing?

Any other info on Airshow would be greatly aprpeciated? There are very few airlines that use Airshow on their domestic routes. I wish Airshow would be available on all new aircrafts.
As long as the DirecTV service is operating (which it should), you will have access to the live map. It is free and all you need to do is set your channel to 13 and watch away. There are advertisements in between the different maps (maps to include the entire country and region in which you are flying over -- southwest, northeast, etc.). It will also tell you your altitude and air speed. Unfortunately no cameras so you can view the takeoff/landing.
