About Gate 41
Gate 41 is a small, calm world for learning how a flight works. You walk through an airport, board an aircraft and watch a flight from the cabin, the cockpit and the outside. Nothing is a test. There are no scores and no timers.
Who it is for
- Curious people. Find out who does what before you fly.
- Anyone who feels uneasy about flying. Many sounds and movements look strange until you know what they are. Each one here has a plain, gentle explanation.
- Kids. Tap the glowing circles, meet the people and read short answers at your own pace.
How to use it
Walk with the arrow keys or tap the floor. Tap a circle to learn about what is there. Press Start the flight at the bottom, then look around as it goes. You can open the same thing as many times as you like.
Good to know
Gate 41 is educational and deliberately simple. It is not a flight simulator, and procedures vary by airline, airport, aircraft and country. The airline, the people and the cities are made up. For questions about your own flight, ask your airline or the crew.
Best on a desktop. Gate 41 works on phones and tablets, but it is designed for a larger screen, where you can see more of each place at once.
