As to cleaning... everything I read says it gets spread via "droplets" from people sneezing, etc. Have not seen any reports of extended life on tray table, etc.
Like every other disease it also spreads through the fecal-oral route, meaning people who don't wash their hands after using the bathroom and inevitably eat something or touch their faces. Of course those people are also touching seatbelts and tray tables and the like. But that is a good question of how long it can survive on surfaces. From what I've read it's anywhere from a few hours to a week.
