If I've just arrived in any country and I'm very tired so can I say 'I have not got any rest in the plane' or 'I did not get any rest in the plane' and why we use it.

Also in plane or on plane?

Also, do we say "in the plane" or "on the plane"?

You could say "I haven't had any sleep" or "I didn't get any sleep on the plane" but "I haven't had any sleep on the plane doesn't work".

"Have" is present tense. "Got" refers to possession.

So it would mean that you don't have any rest stowed on the plane. It makes no sense.
