Some nights I'll wear my headset in bed for this reason. I've got a TV in my room, but with my Quest I can lay back however I want and still get an IMAX display in front of me.

Not sure if I'd be desperate enough to try it on a plane (the stereoscopy would probably make me sick), but as a viewing experience it's phenomenal. The OLED panel on the original Quest is a godsend for movie watching, and when streaming over DNLA I can get 3-4 hours of battery life.

Yup I do the same. The key is an app that doesn't use the "movie theater" gimmick but just gives you a screen you can resize arbitrarily and move in space to vertically above your head.

It truly is a glorious viewing experience, and if you make the screen large enough you effectively get full 1080p detail.

For me it's how close the seats are, you have to hold your hands in close to your body to type on a keyboard, and you don't have the room to tilt the screen back for a good viewing angle.

Sometimes I've found resting the laptop in my lap/knees along the screen hinge (so it makes a 45 degree angle with my thigh) to be the most usable. This requires you to pull your shoulders/elbows back however so you usually can't do it if you have someone you don't know sitting next to you.

I have strongly debated bringing my Quest 2 onto a plane and using a wireless keyboard to program with, I think the ergonomics would work out much better when flying coach.
