No it will not work in Airplane mode because all wireless is turned off when you switch to that mode. Most flights also do not allow GPS.

If you have to put the phone in plane mode you will not be able to use the XGPS. If the flight allows GPS you may want to look at a standalone GPS unit like a Etrex 30 handheld.

yes you can as long as you buy mapping for your phone that does not require an internet connection. The maps need to download onto the phone.

I thought you meant you want to use it on a plane in airplane mode. I did not think that you may want to put in airplane mode to reduce roaming charges. You should be able to disable the cellular services and still have wifi and bluetooth to talk to the xGPS. If you have a SIM card in the phone try taking that out while on your trip. Then put it back in if you need to make a call
