There is no way crux is visible over LA from an airliner. The horizon dip at 35000ft is only about 3 degrees.

I've seen the night sky from an airliner while were flying from Vienna to Doha. The window and cabin lighting, even if dimmed interfere, but the stars definately appeared more vivid and brighter than here, although that could be because we were well above any light pollution.
