The plane would keep moving while you left, so.. you would come back in to empty space.
So would, like earth, or even the Milky Way. All motion is relative. Gotta define what "the same place you teleported in from" means...
Wouldn't the same logic apply to the planet moving?
I think it was the Hitchhikers books that made that joke in relation to people inventing time travel. They travel to some other point in time and die in space because the earth isn't in that spot any more.
All the real theoretical kinds of time travel involve a physical path you have to move along with a specific start and end point, because yeah, otherwise the frame of reference would be ambiguous.
