So I need to shoot a scene with no dialogue, the character just sits inside a plane, checks her tablet and looks out the window.
I can afford a ticket for her and for myself.
We are shooting with DSLR cameras.
I can strip the camera and make everything look like a regular vacation moment I only need a couple of seconds footage.
No audio required.
Will use natural light or maybe a small on camera light source that can be placed on the hot shoe on top of the camera.
If I shoot this while in mid flight there's a 99% chance of getting away with it, right?

Sounds like it. Just don't get anyone else in the shot that has not signed a talent release.

You should be fine. Just be mindful of the flight paths and time of day to be sure your shot won't be ruined by backlight from the sun.

Save your dough. Sneak onto an aircraft boneyard. They often have planes just sitting around. Or try a flight museum. You can also try a flight school or an airline. Some have passenger planes cut in half to train stewards in hospitality.
