"Airfly: Tried to use my airfly for the first time on a plane. When trying to watch movies on the plane's inflight entertainment system, I got my airfly to connect to my airpods but no sound would play. Not sure why."

Troubleshooting AirFly:

Did you speak with the stewardess on the airplane? If so, what did they say the reason may be. Providing that may help.

Interference:

It may be interference that getting in the way here. 

Some Links in Regards to Interference:

• If your AirPods Pro Make Crackling or Static Sounds - Apple Support
• If the Sound from your Wireless Headphones Cuts Out or is Distorted - Apple Support

"I did not because I used the headphones provided from the airline to test out the sound to see if it was just a problem with the entertainment system but the sound worked with those so I figured the issue was with the airfly itself."

Frequency is the Culprit:

If it did not work, then it is just a conflict of your device being allowed to be paired with the frequency of this AirFly system.
