Has anyone used this on an Airtran flight and if so did it work?

No I haven't. I have used it in on American, Delta, and United with no problems.

Thanks for the tip. I am especially interested in using the unit while I'm traveling, and as such don't have the large cleaner or canned air (it's harder and harder to travel with gear these days unless you check your bags - which I don't do unless absolutely necessary).Does anyone have experience using the unit while traveling?

Yes. We use it when traveling and it works well. I have not tried another one to compare.

absolutely. i use it on every flight. i use it on the plane before takeoff and then again as needed. it is great. flying is so much more comfortable now.

Sorry, I only use for plane rides, and it works great for long hauls (5+ hours). It definitely makes plane rides bearable now, highly recommended.

I used it with my 3 year old on AirTran, but that was 4 years ago. She hated the feel because it was so different from her carseat and she was not used to it. She was comfortable and found asleep on the 6 hour flight. Good luck and God bless.

i have no idea...i would call the airlines. I am assuming it is approved for airline travel. That is why i got it.

No, as long as it is under the weight limits, my airlines haven't cared. I took 4 of these on 3 different airlines, and it was fine.

I have not used mine on a flight, but several of the reviewers have stated that they have, so I would think that it must be.

I can only share my experience with this device. I used it as a back-up to a Garmin 696 that was our primary navaid in flying from Orlando to Anchorage and back via the AlCan Highway (see floridaaviators.blogspot.com). This GPS antenna was employed with an iPad 2 running Foreflight software that was also geosynched to show real time aircraft position, airspeed, altitude and course. It worked flawlessly. When new the Garmin 696 cost as much as $2000, and the software easily cost that much a year. The iPad was about $400, the Dual 150 was $99 delivered, and the Foreflight software (including Geosynch) was $150 a year. At no time did the Foreflight differ more than a few feet of altitude, a knot of airspeed or a degree of true course; position was essentially identical to the Garmin (which uses Jeppesen software, which is also quite expensive). The dual antenna will work in a jet if you have a window seat. The further you sit from a window, the poorer the possibility of reception. It has a rubber suction cup that was designed to be used to attach the antenna to a windscreen. Ours was set atop the glareshield of the Cessna 172 we flew; it wasn't necessary to stick it to the windshield. It should work with the iphone6, but of course that already includes its own GPS antenna. I will tell you that a good friend uses his every time he flies in the cockpit of an A-320 just as a precaution...and it works flawlessly. Hope this is of some value to you. Best of luck!

It's a mini gps receiver so it will work with most flight planning aps. I have the GLO and the Stratus and really prefer the Stratus, but it only works with Foreflight. The GLO is a piece of crap. It turns on in my flight bag and drains its battery, is difficult to connect to the iPad and is clearly a stepchild of Garmin. I'd buy a Dual or Bad Elf, they are much better units for the money.

Never used on an airplane but it does fit (after a long discussion with the counter representative from Southwest)

That's a really good question! I'd be intrigued to know the answer as I've never used it in an airport. I'd say your best bet is to check with the airline you are flying with. Good luck!

I believe so, with some many problems with the airlines it is better to check with your airline. I love my Airtamer, take it everywhere!!

We have taken this on over a dozen flights and have never had a problem, even on regional jets. It is difficult to get down the aisle but works great on the plane.
