Plus, technically I don't think you can have something broadcasting a wifi signal on a plane. You can't even use bluetooth headphones on a plane.

Yes you can over Bluetooth / USB, but not over wifi (you can either receive OR transmit a wifi signal, not both at the same time).

Ahh, my bad. Forgot about the Bluetooth / USB options. So yes, you can over Bluetooth / USB. See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4517
