thaw out (relax)
(with customs (the customs stress) now behind us), the passengers (on the plane) started to relax (or “to thaw out”), everybody was quiet, nobody felt like talking...
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "This comes closest to *decompressing* (which I could not use due to possible confusion in the airplane context). *Relax* has a regenerative tone, while *drained* and *worn out* both imply ongoing fatigue."

Russian term (edited):
настала разрядка
felt drained (of energy)
Интересный вопрос, Полина. Я неуверена, что в английском есть точный эквивалент "разрядке" в этом смысле. Я бы перефразировала предложение: "On the plane we felt drained of all energy."

Discussion
However, I just can't use it in my translation due to the airplane setting (too much possible association with airplane "decompression", a totally different phenomenon).
So this is an example of a PERFECT translation, which nonetheless doesn't fit the context. Thanks anyways :)
