The only interaction between those drugs is increased sedation because lunesta and klonopin (eszopiclone and clonazepam) are both rather potent sedatives and for some, lexapro (escitalopram) produces additive sedation as well.
Unless you already have a high tolerance, you are not going to need a "few" lunesta for a single plane ride, even if you're flying CA to Bangkok, especially when mixed with other sedatives.
Anyway, combination questions belong in Basic Drug Discussion... For questions about pharmaceutical combinations, Drug Interaction Checkers such as the one here are also a good place to start.

I take lunesta and klonopin at night some times
benzos are safe in relatively high dosages. So you should be ok, but if you mix the too you may find your self far more sedated than planned, not really a bad thing on a plane ride but for an everyday situation: set an alarm next to the light switch so when you wake up, stumble out of bed feeling very groggy you can immediately turn on a bright light when you turn off the alarm. (this should quell your urge to go right back to sleep after turning off your alarm)
[speaking form experience here].
as stated above, if you have normal benzo tolerance then one lunesta should suffice, or maybe one full strength (3mg). you shouldn't need to take more than that
but 3mg eszopiclone + maybe .5mg or 1mg klonopin, and you should be sound asleep for the plane ride.

If you have no tolerance take 1 lunesta pill and 0.5mg's of clonazepam. That would be enough to put you to sleep for most of the plane ride i think.

Respiratory depression from benzos alone CAN happen, but, you would need a large dose.
I guess if you have ZERO tolerance to benzos than combining Lunesta and a large dose of klonopion could be dangerous.
But 2mg Eszopiclone +0.5mg klonopin and you will be fine. (asleep but fine
)
My benzo tolerance is not high but not low, I take around 1.5 mg klonopin at a time.
I have taken 1.0 mg klonopin, 30mg Temazepam (which is on the order of .5 -10 klonopin) plus 4.5mg eszopiclone together with no trouble. the 4.5 is a best guess as the pills were 4mg lunesta non-scored pills. So I cut one in half and took 1.5 pills. but there's no saying the distribution in a no-scored pill is uniform...
Also consider that both Lunesta and klonopin can be long acting, klonopin more than lunesta IMO. So don't overdue it. becasue then when your plane lands and you have to get your bags and get yer ass off the plane, then if you are hungover from being awoken early from your benzo induced slumber you may be less than a happy camper
