Every flight has a view. Raylie tells you what yours will be — and which side of the plane to sit on. Add a boarding pass and Raylie builds a timeline of the flight: sunrise over the Pacific, moonrise two hours in, the aurora belt off the left wing, a canyon passing below. Every event says when it happens and which window to look out of. WHAT IS WAITING OUTSIDE • Sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset, in the order you will see them • Left side or right side, so you know which seat to pick and where to look • Aurora, when your route crosses the belt • Landmarks and cities you pass over, with the time you reach them A REAL EARTH, NOT A MAP Raylie draws the planet as it is right now.
