I think it's supposed to work up there.
Cocom limits used to be 50,000 feet and 1000 knots if I am not mistaken.
Most GPS will likely support those Cocom limits even if they state something
like 2000 meters max altitude etc.
A commercial flight should certainly work, besides the problem of only
seeing one side of the sky on the plane..

I know for sure my handheld Garmin works at 27000 feet, at
530mph... ...I was actually surprised it worked up there.
It made me wonder what the actual limits are.
