Thread named so as not to be confused with flight simulators.

Has anyone here used VR for in-flight entertainment?

If so, what was your setup?

My last in-flight entertainment was my phone with downloaded movies/series from various streaming services, paired with my wireless earphones (not noise cancelling).
Whilst away a friend was showing us their Quest 2 and I learned that it has a cinema feature/app where you feel like you're actually at the movies.

So my thinking is that the ideal setup would be a nice standalone headset with some noise cancelling headphones. Id hope it would be so good I'd forget I was on a plane.
 
It apparently works very well. Great for watching movies i would imagine, or playing games that don't need your hands to move much.
Being able to escape to a much larger virtual space away from the cramped confines of a plane would be a godsend.
This is what I'm thinking.

I couldn't find much online, but the few experiences I read (of people who have watched movies in VR cinema mode in-flight) were generally positive.

Apparently no issues with airport security either.
