I actually don’t think pranks are a good idea on a plane. Stress levels are too high (and I’m not talking about fear of terrorism - just the stress of air travel in general). People need to just chill and let chill. Granted, there are always exceptions. But just IMHO I think let’s leave the pranks for lower stress times.
In general I LOVE pranks. Stuff like Improve Everywhere, for example. I think IF one were to want to try a prank on a plane, work with the crew to do it and make damn sure it’s short and not going to annoy more than it entertains.
