I wouldn't suggest walking up there and pounding on the door to the cockpit. smile. I think you'd hand the note to the flight attendant, and let her handle it for you.

Hmm, so how can you find the pilot to ask?

I find that it is pilot dependent, not airline specific. I have gotten
permission on American and a couple other airlines. It is at the pilot's
discretion. You will have much less success with the flight attendant.
They can only follow the official policy, which says that you can't use
it other than on Southwest.

Peter, you won't get satellites from an isle seat through a one foot
window 4 feet away.

If you do get permission, the holux fits nicely behind the window shade.
You could sit in the isle seat and get GPS if the window passenger
doesn't mind putting the shade down.

Carl,
American Airlines won't let you use GPS equipment.  Just FYI.

I just completed a business trip to Chicago to San Francisco last
Friday. I
had a window seat, using the Holux I acquired satellites as soon
as we were
allowed to turn on the equipment and maintained 5 to 9 satellites
until we
had to turn off the equipment prior to landing. I had no
problems with any
functions.

Hi, Despite more sensitive receivers I have had less success in
getting the
GPS to work on airplanes lately. Has anyone else noticed this? Dave
