Officially, TSA regulations ban people congregating on the plane.

But IME if you speak to the flight staff beforehand (instead of just getting up and doing it, I.e. being mentchlich about it)  they are pretty accommodating.

Continental has always been extremely accommodating for minyanim when I've flown them.
Do they let you drag the other 9 people into FIRST class to join your minyan? :D

If El Al was smart they'd make Charedi-oriented flights with dedicated minyan places, though (unfortunately) they'll have the flight attendants fighting not to get those flights.

Phil flew Economy? I had him pegged as a first class kinda guy :P

You never had a empty first cabin for yourself, and them tried to convince them to let the 9 join you in your spacious quarters?
(The last time I flew Elal, there was only one person in first.)

reminds me of a story. i was once flying elal coach on a relatively full flight, and about an hour into the flight a woman came over to me and offered me the following deal. if i would switch seats with her to the last row of the plane, id have the whole middle row to myself. basically there was a problem with the plane, the back 10-15 rows had no electricity. she was an off duty stewardess who needed light to study for a test. so she offered me the entire row that was blocked for the stewardesses in exchange for my seat. as it was a night flight i took her up on the offer and had the greatest sleep. no tv's on from neighboring pax, no light. it was great...
...until i was jolted awake by someone who dumped his talis bag on my feet in the morning

Not necessarily hang him as in capital punishment, more like hang him out to dry.

I've heard R' Moshe has a tshuva on this topic, saying not to do it. I haven't seen it, I'm just quoting what I've heard.
