Enabling Travel Mode will make positional tracking work on a moving airplane. Other forms of transport such as trains aren’t officially supported yet, but will be at some point in the future, according to Meta.

Holy motion sickness, Batman!
Think I’ll have to pass on that one. I envy anyone who can use VR while travelling.
Watching the 3D version of Mad Max: Fury Road with it reflecting off the lake in the Mount Hood environment while flying cross country sold me on never flying without a VR headset again. It was one of the most comfortable flights I’ve had and one of the more enjoyable and memorable movie watching experiences despite having seen the movie before.
On the way back I was able to play the inflight entertainment in headset, and the wifi was good enough to stream video so I watched RuPaul content on youtube and Wow Presents Plus while texting friends. It was also a solid experience.
No motion sickness in either case, but also I didn’t play any games or anything that usually makes someone motion sick in VR. This was all on my Vision Pro, so hopefully it works as well on the Quest headsets.
Using a headset on the plane is one of these use cases that are blown way out of proportion. I get the appeal, but how often do you have to take the plane for something like this to be worth it. Also, you usually want to travel light, why waste all that space on a headset.
