Does anyone else sometimes use the on-board Wi-Fi to listen to live ATC at the airport you're flying in/out of?

Admittedly I'm an AvGeek, but I found it really interesting to follow along and hear what ATC and the pilots of my aircraft are talking about.

No, but I'm going to in the future. It sounds like a great idea,. Although I don't think MrsK would happy with me relating to her, everything that is going on with ATC.

United has/had live ATC on the inflight audio. I recall tuning in years ago when I was travelling to the US a lot.

Mmm not so sure. 🤔

Maybe I don’t want to know whats going on and worry about nothing if I misconstrue what I hear (or don’t hear).

Just trust all will be ok, chill and enjoy my flight in ignorance.

Interesting, I’d never considered it.
Will give it a try on my next flight out of MEL in 2 weeks.
