Hi Fitbiters
Nothing to complain about just want to share an interesting observation.
I noticed i gain a x2 Floor just be walking to the Gent on a plane & return to seat. So i guess during these time the air craft had gain a 2x9 feet or 18 feet elevation when i walk. Is this plausible?

Since Fitbit uses an altimeter to determine change in elevation, i.e., floors, it is totally possible to get multiple floors while flying.

As a general rule I would say no, not plausible. Why? Cabin pressure on modern airliners is typically fixed between 6,000' MSL (Boeing 787) and 8,000' MSL (most other planes). Said another way, the plane could gain or lose thousands of feet of altitude and it shouldn't affect your tracker one iota.

So the 2 floor I saw is a +/- in cabin pressure changes?
Possibly; fresh air is constantly being cycled through the cabin so it wouldn't surprise me if there were some minor fluctionations in air pressure.
