My clients pay me half rate for travel time. To me, that is an acknowledgement that my time is being used but that it is not being directly used on the project/contract. If they expected me to work on a flight then I would expect them to pay for a business class seat to facilitate that, as I cannot guarantee that I can work on my laptop if the person in front of me reclines their seat.
