I bet they absolutely will. If I could afford business/first, I'd absolutely buy something like this just to be able to watch content or work on a bigger screen and without the constant interruptions you get on in-flight entertainment.

Then in economy, not having to cram a laptop where it can get crushed by the seat in front, or craning your neck, etc - that'd be fantastic.



The Quest Go came out in 2018 (first "real" VR headset for this kind of thing) and I've never ever seen someone use one in flight. Not once in four+ years. I average about one flight a month.


The Quest headsets seem pitched for fitness-type games as much as anything else, whereas this pushes the higher resolution for workspace and content consumption.

Here is a thread about someone using one on a flight: https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest2/comments/s1fy2i/quest_...

I've never seen someone use a Switch on a flight, but I'd assume it's not uncommon.

It’s lower quality than an iPad and looks dorky.
