I’m looking for pictures to see if 12.9 ipp with Magic Keyboard with trackpad fits comfortably on plane tray table for watching movies?

Never had an issue with 11inch keyboard folio
 
I flew with mine last week and was reminded that it’s a bit of a squeeze. It’s just about acceptable but with the hinge, it’s closer to a 14in footprint in height, and the top bangs into the seat in front.

I think I will have to keep my 2018 11-inch for flights. I only travel around 3 times a year but I love watching movies on planes for some reason!

Same experience for me. I think the folio would do a better job

also remember the new MK’s hinge is different(more to the back) , so it might even be more of a squeeze
 
I travelled a lot (with work) on economy from/to the UK and had no issues (and I flew on TAP Air which is as economy as you can get). It was better than my MBA or MBP.
