Fair. I'm less concerned about in flight. I typically sit aisle... And it is very rare that I am not bumped by someone passing by. Someone reaching above me would definitely alert me. But I can see a smaller person not being disturbed. That said, not having seen the Oculus in person and hooked up, not sure how bulky it would be or how practical it would be to use in flight.
