This is the most incredible part. I cannot even use a laptop adequately in an economy class seat, I cannot position the screen so that I could see it, and the keyboard so that I could type on it, at the same time. (To say nothing of connecting a Wii.)

I struggle so much to even comfortably play a handheld video game system on a plane, let alone use a laptop (I have also tried that) that I've mostly given up on even trying and just line up a few albums on my phone to listen to and close my eyes as much as possible.

I can't imagine trying to program on a laptop with an external device, even something as portable and small as a phone, on a plane. I expect my frustration and frequently bumping things about would mean I'd get nothing done aside from having a bad time.

Get a pair of XR glasses. I bought some Viture glasses a few years ago and they have been perfect for flights.

Indeed, the cost of decent good XR glasses is less than the cost of upgrade to the business class on a flight!
