I think the issue here is that in an airplane at 40,000 feet, it's really hard to just leave the environment causing the reaction whereas in a restaurant or public transit vehicle, you can just leave the area. Also, in an airplane, unless there is medical help onboard, the flight attendants can only do so much to aid the passenger until they can get the plane down on the ground and get the patient to a hospital.
