I have a 15" Al PB and take it with me on the plane frequently with almost no problems at all. The only time it is an issue is when the person in front of me reclines their seat. Some planes have the trays that drop and then extend out - those are great. I can continue to use the PB with no problem. The simple drop down trays will not work as well but are fine if the person is not reclining. The screen simply rests back into the area where the tray is when not out. I love the size of the 15" screen, particularly for Photoshop work on the fly and watching DVD's or working on reports. The 12" is simply too small and impractical for most of the stuff I do though.
