Is the Aqua Marina Halve actually a 2-person kayak?

Yes, but it is a "Compact Tandem." It is technically designed for two people and includes two seats, but it is best suited for two smaller adults or an adult-and-child pairing rather than two large individuals on a long expedition.

Can I take the Halve on a plane?

Yes—in fact, its 'Packayak' design makes it one of the most flight-friendly kayaks in existence. While you'll almost certainly need to check it as luggage rather than bringing it as a carry-on, it’s a total green light for the cargo hold; at just 7.4 kg (16.3 lbs), it sits well under the standard 23 kg limit, and its compact packed size (48 x 65 x 35 cm) easily fits within the linear inch requirements for a standard checked suitcase. Keep in mind that the materials here have been chosen to keep weight down if you are ok with adding 3 kgs you could open your options up to include the Sport Elite from Advanced Elements which has a much more comfortable seat.

How durable is TPU compared to PVC in the Halve kayak?

TPU is superior to PVC in almost every performance metric except for cost. While PVC is a heavy, stiff plastic, TPU is a high-tech elastomer that acts more like a "super-rubber." In the Halve kayak, this means you get a boat that is robust, easier to fold, and much more resistant to the elements.
