So how does that work for passengers. Well, I reckon if possible stay low and encourage them to recognise landmarks and other sites of interest and let them do some map reading, even if you know perfectly well where you are! If you are sufficiently confident let them have a go on the controls - that will keep them involved. Finally point out that they could be sitting in a traffic jam down there. Whatever, I think with wives and partners the trick must be to take them somewhere worthwhile if they don’t enjoy flying for its own sake.
Well said Fuji.
