On flights you want noise cancellation. Maybe you could pair these with noise-cancelling AirPods, but then would you still get the "spatial audio"?

1. Airpod pros have spatial audio
2. Their presentation showed someone using it with airpods on a plane

How do airpods compare with noise canceling Bose over the ear? (Genuine question, not rhetorical)
I have Sony over ears and airpods pro and I never wear airpods on flights. Far too uncomfortable for long ones and noise cancelling is far better on over ears, by design. Of course airpods are more versatile if that's what you after tho.

I have both and prefer the AirPods Pro. The Bose noise cancelling always felt a bit unnatural; there was a pressure difference that would make me feel slightly dizzy. For me, the AirPods Pro do not cause the same dizzyness issue and have comparable noise cancelling. Even if they had noticeably worse noise cancelling the charging and pairing experience are so much better than what Bose can achieve that I'd probably still use the AirPods.
Two years ago they were better than the best in-ear noise cancelling earphones Bose had. I've not kept up to date or tried Bose since then so maybe they've got even better (they weren't bad, just not as good as Airpods Pro, IMO).
AirPods ate some of the most highly rated wireless earphones at the moment. Compared to full size Bose, I would say they are 90% comparable.
