The airline offers wireless Internet service, so Malkoff is posting updates about his trip on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and on his blog.
The only time I leave the plane is once in a while to go on the tarmac to switch planes. I never go into to an airport. I'm trying to stay on the same plane for as much as possible."
His itinerary ranges from five to a dozen flights a day, with destinations including Raleigh, Jacksonville,u00a0 Denver and Pittsburgh.
He also tries to exercise between flights when the plane is empty by jogging in the aisles and doing push-ups on the seats. When the plane is parked for the night, he sleeps onboard, alone.
As for his fear, "the flying has definitely gotten easier."
