It depends on how inflight purchases are billed on the airline you're travelling. AmEx relies on information provided by the merchant when it comes to determining if a transaction is eligible for bonus points.
I believe there is some sort of merchant type identification code associated with each transaction. Technically, if the purchase is billed the same way as your flight ticket, you will most likely get the 3x points.
