Lighting Menorah While Flying (Chanukah)

“11. If one cannot light a regular Menorah, you can light an electric one with a Beracha.”

Hi, if one is on an overnight flight which departs before sunset, how can he fulfill his obligation of lighting the menorah from the discomfort of his airline seat?

A battery powered light.
You can technically light just one light and you can make the beracha. Leave it in for a half hour, if you can.

Just want to confirm, the light could be LED and doesn’t have to be incandescent?

No, Electric is good as well.

All as stated earlier, if one can not light in the conventional method.
