To the skies.</p> <p>It seems like a natural fit. Why have reams and reams of paper documents when every manual pilots and other crew members need can fit on an iPad. Why have hard-to-use sales terminals or mobile devices when an iPad or iPhone point-of-sale can be easier and more visual to use, and can go with service personnel onto the flights? <!--break--> Jonny Evans at Computerworld (http://www.computerworld.com/article/2912435/wearables/apple-is-also-transforming-air-travel.html) highlights several examples of iOS and iOS devices transforming air travel:</p>

<p>LaGuardia airport's new terminal features over 100 iPads running OTG's award-winning iPad app, which offers flight schedules in multiple languages, as well as airport announcements and more. These self-service kiosks exist to help passengers in many ways, not least, to miss flights less often.</p>

<p>The airline I use most, Air Canada, has been offering Passbook support for years and has already updated with an Apple Watch extension. Air Canada Rouge uses iPads for in-flight entertainment as well. I typically use Uber when in the United States to get to the airport and, pilots and passengers alike, I typically see a an endless ocean of iPhones at the terminal and on the plane providing information and entertainment for everyone waiting to board or to land.</p> <p>How do you and your airline use iPhones or iPads for travel?</p> </div></div></div><img width='1' height='1' src='(http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/45a095a1/sc/28/mf.gif)' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
