Help! I'm on a plane during the match!

Ugh, I booked my vacation before I knew that the Timbers would be playing in the finals! I am going to be on a plane flying from San Jose to Portland for almost the whole match. How can I watch the game?? I'm flying Alaska, so I'm really hopefully they will find a way to let us watch on the flight, but I'm not optimistic. I know I can get internet on the plane, but not sure if the bandwidth is enough. Any ideas? Thanks. GO TIMBERS! Bring on the Diego Storm!!

If the flight has WiFi, you can at least listen to the radio stream. I'm sure "750 the game" will have it. I've done that before. Not as good as watching, but better than nothing.

Good call. Tune in radio app has access to 750 The game.

That’s ok. I was on a flight from Dallas to PDX in 2015. It turned out ok.

Change your flight

I know, right? They're the corporate sponsor. They should be streaming it live in every flight!

When it comes to the Timbers, I would change my flight to accommodate (within reason)

If you have cable, or can borrow someone’s login you can watch it on the Fox sports app (assuming there’s WiFi)

I would recommend signing up for a free one-week trial at: https://www.foxsoccermatchpass.com/en

You will be able to watch the match, from the start, in its entirety once you land.

From everything I've heard, video streaming via plane wifi doesn't work well at all, so I would wait until you get back to Portland (though it might be hard to avoid finding out the result)

You know they will announce the result in the plane!

If the flight has WiFi you can try to stream it. Check FUBO, Sling etc. it’s on fox.
