Go to a door window (in the 747 and 777 it is horizontal, so you can just put your camera on it, I don't know the 330 and 380), put the lens toward the window, close the shutter until it touches the lens, wrap the blanket over it (the sides of the camera) and take the picture. Even the dimmest cabin lights are not reflected anymore.
One condition: it should be a smooth flight. With turbulence you are supposed to be in your seat with the seatbelts fastened and no time exposures can be taken without motion blur.
Thanks! And cheers for the advice Going to the door window also has the benefit of giving you a view out if you're stuck in an aisle or middle section seat.
