The red light is flashing indicating it can't get a satellite signal.... I really don't want to stick it right against the glass... The cabin is very dark and this thing is lit up like a christmas tree... it would definitely attract attention.
I'll keep trying...

I would bet that the line of sight to a satellite is pretty different....
what altitude are you at?

might have a signal
I've got it propped against a blanket pointed towards the window now... the red light stopped blinking.. so it's at least trying..
I'm at 32,000 ft.
Yup.... maybe look up in the SPOT manual what it takes to transmit form the summit of Mt Everest!
You might need the opposite window.
Mine is quirky in the mountains in a deep valley at times.

I'm headed due South.. sitting on the right side of the plane... which means I've got the Spot facing WEST... I think it needs to face south to get a transmission out...
Curious to see what happens....
Knock Knock.
Captain, Sir, Would you mind if I place this small device with the flashing red light on your dashboard for just a few moments?

... and that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
Make sure someone has a video camera to record this. I want to see the taser and takedown when you go walking up the aisle with a blinking device!! :face-icon-small-sho :face-icon-small-win LOL
