I have the Personal Hotspot on my phone and was wondering if while in the air (when my phone is on Airplane Mode) I could use it for wifi for my MacBook Pro.
Thanks!

No. In Airplane mode, all iPhone radios are off, & Personal Hotspot REQUIRES a cellular data connection in order to setup the Personal Hotspot.

To simplify Personal Hotspot, the phone needs data coming in (via cellular) to push it out (via wifi) to your MBP. As wjosten said, with Airplane Mode on, all radios are off so no cellular or wifi functions will work.
If the phone is in airplane mode, where do you expect it to get a data connection from to feed it via WiFi to your laptop?
Is it possible to use the personal hotspot on my phone while in airplane mode?
