If it was not on shabbat...
« on: April 10, 2013, 04:55:36 PM »
...I'd still not fly it.

No window seat so not worth it.

Flying over the Northpole.

Halachic wise quiet interesting passing all timezones in a short while.

Very interesting. Apparently any seat with a view is sold out.

Who would want to be stuck on that flight without a seat.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Go to 3:21 to see how they cross the north pole

The pilot says, which is obvious that the compass is completely useless there, besides the fact that the north pole center point is not the magnetic north.

Most fancy compasses correct for that IINM, though that wouldn't help while actually flying over the pole.
