The bigger issue with planes is not being allowed to use electronic devices.

You can use electronics on a plane for most of the flight, there are just some times when they ask you to turn them off

Basically this. Youll need to put the Switch in airplane mode (done with the tap of a button) and put it away during takeoff and landing. Otherwise, play away.

The real limiting factor of the Switch's portability is the battery life, which is roughly 3 hours if you're playing a AAA title on a reasonable brightness.

At least for plane rides, a lot of planes have power outlets at each seat these days, so battery life is not an issue there.

...a switch can easily fit in a pocket or carry on bag...

Id say that most traditional pockets would be a stretch, especially when you add the Joycons or any other controllers. But like Mead said, you can bring a carry-on bag (like the size of a duffel bag) to store on the plane in the overhead compartment, and a personal item (like a backpack) to keep with you and just put underneath a seat while in flight. I have a small carrying case for my Switch, which can hold system and several games. I just bring that in a backpack, along with several cords to charge things like the Switch, my phone, and headphones.

So yeah, no big deal bringing one on a flight. Ive done it a few times. I prefer to use it as a handheld, but you could easily put it on the tray, disconnect the Joycons (or a pro controller) and play it that way.
