I'm not sure how much noise the 280s block, but I've always been a fan of the in-ear isolating phones for use on airplanes. My weapon of choice right now are the Shure SE530PTH earphones.

Noise-cancelling headphones typically eliminate about 15 dB of noise. Noise-isolating earphones are more like 25-30 dB.
