It is on the plane or in the plane <\/strong>depending on the context. \u201cOn\u201d is usually the correct preposition of place<\/strong><\/a> for a plane, but sometimes \u201cin\u201d is also a correct option.<\/p>\n

Use \u201con\u201d to describe travelling or riding by plane or other form of mass transportation where you can stand or choose a seat (e.g., \u201cI took a nap on<\/strong> the plane\u201d).<\/p>\n

You can use \u201cin the plane\u201d or \u201con the plane\u201d when you\u2019re distinguishing between a location \u201cinside\u201d rather than \u201coutside\u201d the plane (e.g., \u201cI\u2019m still at the gift shop, but my wife is already in<\/strong> the plane\u201d).<\/p>\n

Have you tried QuillBot\u2019s free Grammar Checker<\/a>? It will help you use \u201con\u201d and \u201cin\u201d correctly in your writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","faq_category":[22],"class_list":{"0":"post-51912","1":"qa_faqs","2":"type-qa_faqs","3":"status-publish","5":"faq_category-sentence-and-word-structure"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"Is
