If it could handle the weight, figuring out a table layout should be easy (technically if using a multi-media KB, I don't even need the tray.
lately, there's plenty of FHD (even 4K) portable monitors, ranging from 10" to 22", from off-brand products to ASUS. you should be able to run this off USB-C or USB-A(maybe the airline USB port is enough, need a voltmeter/ampmeter to check?)

you do have to work within the confines of the (typically) 100W power plug limit.

check amazon + "portable monitor", i have a 11" 1080p one. multiple variations (some running off USB-C only, some with HDMI + microUSB fo rpower, some are USB-A only using DisplayLink. some have touchscreens, some have speakers)
